Near the beginning of the film, the kindly angel is standing on a high church steeple and looking over the city. Children looking up seem to see him though no one else notices. The city is Berlin, so the reference couldn't be literal. It's hard to tell without more lyrics to go by. I can certainly imagine Kate loving WoD, so I wouldn't be suprised... Vickie
