An angel is a purely spiritual being found in various religions and mythologies. In Abrahamic religions and Zoroastrianism, angels are often depicted as benevolent celestial beings who act as intermediaries between God or Heaven and Earth, or as guardian spirits or a guiding influence. Other roles of angels include protecting and guiding human beings, and carrying out God's tasks. The term "angel" has also been diversed to various notions of spirits or figures found in many other religious traditions. The theological study of angels is known as "angelology".
In art, angels are often depicted with bird-like wings on their back, a halo, robes and various forms of glowing light.
The word angel (pronounced /ˈeɪn.dʒəl/) in English is a blend of Old English engel (with a hard g) and Old French angele. Both derive from Late Latin angelus "messenger", which in turn was borrowed from Late Greek ἄνγελος ángelos. According to R. S. P. Beekes, ángelos itself may be "an Oriental loan, like ἄγγαρος ['Persian mounted courier']." The word's earliest form is Mycenaean a-ke-ro attested in Linear B syllabic script.
Night is the period in which the sun is below the horizon.

She said I've been up all night and half-scared to death
I can smell the liquor on your breath
I payed for your rehab with my ira
Boy your daddy'd be turning in his grave
She said son I've done all mama can do
I can save myself but I can't save you
He said I wished you and Jesus would get off my back
They said his truck was doing 90 when he crashed
I bet it gets so quiet in heaven sometimes
Even god cries when an angels hands are tied
They said honey grown-ups do this all the time
And tears welled up in their little girls eyes
They said now it's not something that you've done
It just that mommy and daddy don't get along
She said do you guys mean that you need a time out
And that daddy's gonna move to a different house
They said you'll have two bedrooms you're a lucky kid
She said what about checkers, where's he gonna live
I bet it gets so quiet in heaven sometimes
Even god cries when an angels hands are tied
She prays, angels watch me through the night
Stay by my side 'til morning light
God bless mama, god bless daddy
Keep us together and happy
I bet it gets so quiet in heaven sometimes
