about

He ain't the chosen one after all

lyrics

AIN'T NO ANGEL
music and lyrics © S. Marquis 2012

verse 1
There's a boy, that I know, a child divine
Goes to church, good at school, he's his mama's pride
He don't fight, he don't lie, he come home at night
But inside, he's tired, of the doing right
He ain't no angel

verse 2
Late at night, he dreams, of forbidden things
Kissing girls, lyin, stealin, smoking, drinking
Temptation's strong, the boy is young, he's trying to hold on
He knows it's wrong, but he wonders, cos it looks like fun
He knows it's wrong, but he wonders, cos it looks like fun

chorus
He ain't no angel, he's just a boy
He ain't no angel, he's flesh and blood
He ain't no angel, God save his soul
He aint the chosen one after all

verse 3
After church, he stays back, he steals the wine
It tastes sweet, makes him feel, like he's on high
He goes wild, stayin out, til the morning light
Late at night, all alone, his mama cries
Back at home, all alone, his mama cries

chorus

bridge
The moral to this story is
Let your children be themselves
We can't make them who we want
The more we try, the more goes wrong

chorus
