After every day, after Thanksgiving sell   Malls just ain't complete   Without a bunch of decorations   And a paper angel tree      There's artificial smiles   On artificial tree limbs   Sayin what she'd love to have   And what to buy for him      Well, I hope Maggie likes her new winter clothes   And her buggie with a baby doll   And maybe Thomas smile in his new Nike shoes   When he shoots that basketball      I can't help but wishin'   That I could do more   But not just while I'm shopping   In the department store      Paper angels, you're in my thoughts and prayers   No matter where you are right now   Remember God's right there, He's asking all of us   To help take care of his paper angels everywhere      Goin' through the mail on this starry afternoon   I see a mom and dad's worst dream   Their on the back of a money-savin'-add   To get my carpet clean      Height, weight, hair, eyes   Date missin' and D.O.B   A child's name a picture   And the words 'Have you see me'      Paper angels, you're in my thoughts and prayers   No matter where you are right now   Remember God's right there, He's asking all of us   To help take care of his paper angels everywhere      His documented bruises, film, a folder and a file   She's a second grade self portrait, drawn without a smile   And every town has a litter with this kind of debris   We've got to stop this madness, it's up to you and me      Paper angels, you're in my thoughts and prayers   No matter where you are right now   Remember god's right there, He's asking all of us   To help take care of his paper angels everywhere   Paper angels everywhere
