Maybe I don't understand it
  Maybe I was never meant to know
  I heard he had the whole world in his hands now
  But everything is still out of control
  
  Maybe it's his way of explaining
  Maybe he's just showing me the way
  He gave the gift of love when I was lonely
  Then he went and took that gift away
  
  Now all the true believers say that she'll come back again
  But no one ever shows me the proof
  And when you hear the thunder growing louder than the rain
  They'll tell you it's an angel on the roof
  
  Maybe I'm not meant to question
  How it is that this has come to be
  The dream that I built at his suggestion
  Has completely failed as far as I can see
  
  Now all the true believers say that she'll come back again
  But no one ever shows me the proof
  And when you hear the thunder growing louder than the rain
  They'll tell you it's an angel on the roof
  
  And signs say call on Jesus, save yourself from sin
  But right now I'd rather have a hangover than have to talk to him
  
  Maybe I don't know the answer
  Maybe now someday I shall be saved
  But since he took her from this bed and blessed her
  I see nothing but a mattress and a grave
  
  Now all the true believers say that she'll come back again
  But no one ever shows me the proof
  And when you hear the thunder growing louder than the rain
  They'll tell you it's an angel on the roof
  They'll tell you it's an angel on the roof
