Lyrics Bruce Hornsby

Michael Raphael

Remember those cartoons we watched when we were younger

Opposing angels sat there on Bugs' and Daffys' shoulders

And baffled and confused them with their clever banter

Now the gods a young boy saw there reappeared when he was older

And driving I have Michael on the seat beside me

Chiding me and tempting me with aggressive reckless speed

Tailgating, speeding, running yellow lights

Saint Michael is the angel who inspires us to fight

The Cherubim, The Seraphim

Saint Michael, please don't tease me

A gospel hymn for life and limb

Archangel, please release me

And lucky I have Raphael sent down to Earth to save me

Calming me and soothing me with heaven's healing grace

Courtesy and kindness, letting others in

Saint Raphael's the angel who doesn't need to win

The Cherubim, The Seraphim

Saint Raphael, please guide me

A gospel hymn for life and limb

Archangel, stay beside me

The Cherubim, The Seraphim

Saint Raphael, please guide me

A gospel hymn for life and limb

Archangel, stay beside me

The Cherubim, The Seraphim

Archangels for a ride

A gospel hymn for life and limb

Michael Raphael decide

A gospel hymn for life and limb

Archangel, please release me
