She was counting her change in the line
At the counter of the grocery store
Every penny, every nickel she could find
But she still comes up short
Just a single mom doing the best that she can
When a stranger slips a 20 in the palm of her hand
She turns around to thank him
But he's already disappeared out the door

Just because God doesn't part to sea
Pull ya from the fire
Doesn't mean that he's not there
His fingersprints are everywhere

When the mountain that you're climbing seems so tal
And the battle that you're fighting
Make you feel so all alone
It doesn't mean you're on your own
'Cause when you need it most
The world is full of ordinary angels

He just got back from a second tour of duty
Six months ago
When he closes his eyes he's still fighting
That fright right here at home
And when the nightmares come
In the dead of the night
His little boy runs in the turns on the light
He says, "Daddy don't you worry. "
As he reaches up to kiss him on tippy toes

Just because God doesn't part to sea
Pull ya from the fire
Doesn't mean that he's not there
His fingersprints are everywhere

When the mountain that you're climbing seems so tal
And the battle that you're fighting
Make you feel so all alone
It doesn't mean you're on your own
'Cause when you need it most
The world is full of ordinary angels, ordinary angels

When the mountain that you're climbing seems so tal
And the battle that you're fighting
Make you feel so all alone
It doesn't mean you're on your own
'Cause when you need it most
The world is full of ordinary angels, ordinary angels
