[Intro] [Female Vocal] [Soft acoustic guitar] [Verse 1] [Intimate] [Breathy] And God asked me, His voice so cold and clear "Who taught you how to love in life below?" I placed my hand upon my heart with fear And whispered softly: "A dog I used to know..." [Chorus] [Layered Vocals] [Soft Harmony] The ancient wise man spoke the truth so grand To them, we are their whole entire world In sickness and in poverty he'll stand An angel with a tail, a blessing from God's hand [Verse 2] [Atmospheric Bass] [Whisper] He never asked for titles, wealth or power Nor did he care if I was poor or wrong In my darkest night, in my weakest hour He waits behind the door, where I belong [Chorus] [Layered Vocals] The ancient wise man spoke the truth so grand To them,we are their whole entire world In sickness and in poverty he'll stand An angel with a tail, a blessing from God's hand [Verse 3] [Fragile] [Soft] And when the time arrives for me to die I do not wish for golden halls or grace To where the dogs have gone, I want to fly Their souls are pure, a safe and honest place [Final Chorus] [Bigger Harmony] [Still Intimate] The ancient wise man spoke the truth so grand To them,we are their whole entire world In sickness and in poverty he'll stand An angel with a tail, a blessing from God's hand [Outro] [Music Fading] Their souls are pure, a safe and honest place... An angel with a tail... A blessing from God's hand...
