Um Anjo Aqui Desceu

An angel descended here (an angel descended here)
On a staircase (on a staircase)
So I stood looking (I stood looking)
For your face was shining
And this angel was so beautiful
Carried on his face a childlike smile

Carried a tray (carried a tray)
On his hand (on his hand)
On top of it there was a jar (on top of it there was a jar)
And inside the oil of liberation
But what made me cry the most
Is that the angel tap danced
And even though the jar was full
The angel spilled nothing
It's the angel of the prayer movement
That God placed among us
Angel of the Lord

The sky was closing (the sky was closing)
The staircase was going up (the staircase was going up)
And the time was coming (and the time was coming)
For the angel to leave
And taking my hand
I asked the angel to stay here
Where I came from I cannot stay
I will return to my place
But I promise I will come back here
And with this brotherhood I will tap dance again

Such a beautiful angel
That among us
God placed
Angel of the Lord

Angel, beautiful angel
Childlike angel
That among us
God placed
Angel of the Lord
