The Neighborhood Angel

                                                        The neighborhood angel intercedes with heaven,

                                                        deflecting judgment from men and women.

                                                        Mercy is called for and mercy is given.

                                                        The neighborhood angel intercedes with heaven.

                                                        But who intercedes with those who have taken

                                                        power to punish a fellow human?

                                                        The neighborhood angel intercedes with heaven,

                                                        deflecting judgment from men and women.
