Angels
Watch Over Me 
I’m diving in, I’m goin’ deep
I lay awake at night, I can’t sleep
with open eyes I dream aloud
in endless conversation
I ask myself there in the dark
how could I’ve ever come this far
who was there to carry me
away to my salvation?
then from this frightened heart I hear
a still small voice saying ‘don’t you fear…’
the angels are watching over me
shining their light that I will see
my destiny is victory
I shall believe
no matter how dark before the dawn
no matter if dreams have come and gone
I shall believe
I shall know
the angels watch over me
this troubled twist of fate that’s mine
…how could these stars be my design?
through nights of dark deliverance
I’ve seen too much for two eyes
the demons, they will rape and steal
and make of saints their sinners’ meal
and cast away the bones of those
still wondering ‘was God listening?’
but soon the light of Grace will shine
and all at once that light is mine…
the angels are watching over me
shining their light that I will see
my destiny is victory
I shall believe
no matter how dark before the dawn
no matter if dreams have come and gone
I shall believe
I shall know
the angels watch over me
spirits left to starve and die
no one cares to ask or answer why
we are ten billion praying hands
raised to the dark and distant sky
the angels are watching over me
showing the way that I will see
it is my Truth that sets me free
I will more than believe
no matter how dark before the dawn
no matter if dreams have come and gone
I shall believe
I shall know
the angels watch over me
now I lay me down to sleep
I know my soul will safely keep
as angels watch over me…
