What If She's An Angel  
Tommy Shane Steiner

There's a man, standing on the corner,
With a sign saying: "Will work for food."
You know the man, you see him every morning,
The one you never give your money to.
You can sit there with your window rolled up,
Wonderin' when the light's gonna turn green.
Never knowing what a couple more bucks,
In his pocket might mean.
What if he's an angel sent here from heaven?
And he's making certain that you're doing your best,
To take the time to help one another:
Brother, are you gonna pass that test?
You can go on with your day-to-day,
Trying to forget what you saw in his face.
Knowing deep down you could have been his savin' grace.
What if he's an angel?
There's a man, and there's a woman,
Livin' right above you in apartment G.
There's a lot of noise comin' through the ceiling,
And it don't sound like harmony.
You can sit there with your TV turned up,
While the words in his anger fly.
But come tomorrow when you see her with her shades on,
Can you look her in the eye?
What if she's an angel sent here from heaven?
And she's making certain that you're doing your best,
To take the time to help one another:
Brother, are you gonna pass that test?
You can go on with your day-to-day,
Tryin' to forget what you saw in her face.
Knowing deep down you could have been her savin' grace.
What if she's an angel?
Instrumental Break.
A little girl, on daddy's lap,
Hidin' her disease with a baseball cap.
You can turn the channel, most people do.
But what if you were sitting in her daddy's shoes?
What if she's an angel sent here from heaven?
And she's making certain that you're doing your best,
To take the time to help one another:
Brother, are you gonna pass that test?
You can go on with your day-to-day,
Trying to forget what you saw in her face.
Knowing deep down you could have been her savin' grace.
What if she's an angel?

Tommy Shane Steiner （湯米-謝恩-斯戴納）出生於美國德州的一個小村莊，和他的祖輩一樣，是一個真正的牛仔。不過，與家中的那些擅長競技比賽的高手們有所不同，Steiner走的是一條屬於牛仔的演藝道路。他花了6年時間學習並積累了豐富的舞台經驗，在22歲那年正式登台表演，並在2002年推出了勵誌大碟《Then came the night》。我們聽到的《What If She's An Angel （倘若她是天使）》是一首對靈魂進行質問的作品，它提醒人們：關注你身邊的那些需要幫助的人。Steiner純正的鄉村歌喉讓我們自然在腦海裏會浮現這樣的畫麵：夕陽西下，滿天是火紅的雲彩，籠罩茫茫大地，一個帥氣的西部牛仔，騎在馬背上，悠閑地哼唱著這首《倘若她是天使》。

一位真正有才華的新歌手，必然會受到許多前輩的關注和提攜。連續11年主持鄉村音樂協會年度頒獎典禮的歌星Vince Gill出人意料地為Steiner的主推曲“倘若她是天使”(What If She's An Angel)配唱了合聲，資深藝人Randy Travis的參與也為唱片集增添了更多的亮點。

Steiner 的音樂作品，透射出牛仔們質樸的人生觀：當你無奈的時候，不妨豁達地去創造生活；當你獲得了美滿的生活時，不妨去關注需要幫助的 人，珍惜人生中的美好事物。現在，無論身在何處，Tommy Shane Steiner依然如故，心中永存著餘輝中那一望無際的德州牧場。
