about
Previously released on the Wily Bo Walker solo album 'Moon Over Indigo'
"Who'll be there to catch our dreams as they fall…"
Wily Bo Walker's topical anti-war, anti-corruption ballad with his trademark huge production.
Said of this song:
“Whew! what a song - absolute knockout!" - Tony Fitton, Blues in the Nite
"The impassioned For The Children is a cri de coeur for sanity in this world with 'wars to the east, corruption to the west'. Utterly convincing." - Grant Moon, The Blues magazine
lyrics
OH ANGEL, MY SWEET ANGEL
I SEE SHADOWS CROSS THE SKY
AND MIDNIGHT EYES
ARE LOOKING AT THE WORLD TONIGHT
OH ANGEL, MY SWEET ANGEL
WHEN THE TRUTH COMES DOWN
IT’S GOING TO RAIN LIKE CRAZY
ON THE CHILDREN
AS THEY SLEEP TONIGHT
AND WHO’LL BE THERE TO CATCH THEIR DREAMS AS THEY FALL
WHO’LL BE THERE FOR THE CHILDREN
WHEN THEIR NIGHTMARES CALL?
WHEN THEIR NIGHTMARES CALL?
OH ANGEL, I’VE HEARD SO MANY LIES
BUT WITH WARS TO THE EAST
CORRUPTION TO THE WEST
HOW THE HELL WE EVER GONNA SURVIVE?
OH ANGEL, MY SWEET ANGEL
WHEN THEY LIGHT THOSE FIRES
THEY’RE GOING TO BURN LIKE FOREVER
BUT WE’RE NEVER GOING TO SEE THE LIGHT
AND WHO’LL BE THERE TO CATCH OUR DREAMS AS THEY FALL
WHO’LL BE THERE FOR THE CHILDREN
WHEN THEIR NIGHTMARES CALL?
COS TIME IS SLIPPING THROUGH OUR FINGERS
LIKE A STORM IN THE DESERT SAND
WHO CAN PLACE OUR CHILDREN’S FUTURE
IN THE PALM OF SOME FOOLS HAND?
IF ONLY I COULD GET SOME ANSWERS
I WOULD LET THEM ALL IN ON THE PLAN
SO WHEN THEIR NIGHTMARES CALL
THEY CAN UNDERSTAND…
