Angel
©Kelli Cates
You're my angel when life is dark
When shadows take me, and tear me apart
You're the light that shines in the void
Rebuilding what my tears have destroyed
You're my angel when the clouds are tall
When they threaten rain to people so small
You're the hope that fills my heart
You take my hand when my world falls apart
Please stay with me, and hold out your hand
I never know when I might need to stand
Sometimes it's hopeless, but you help me cope
To stand on my own and hold on to hope
You're my angel when the glass breaks
When the blood flows, and my heart aches
You're whisper that urges me on
To get up and walk and wait for the dawn
Please stay with me, and hold out your hand
I never know when I might fail to stand
Sometimes it's hopeless, but you help me cope
To stand on my own and hold on to hope
(Why do the scars on these arms seem to bleed
Like a saint, overcome with hopeless greed?)
You're my angel in my time of need
When the gray overtakes the colors that bleed
You're my angel that heals my arms
And feeds me love, and expels harm
Please stay with me, and hold out your hand
I never know when I might need to stand
Sometimes it's hopeless, but you help me cope
To stand on my own and hold on to hope
When shadows take me, and tear me apart
You're the light that shines in the void
Rebuilding what my tears have destroyed
You're my angel when the clouds are tall
When they threaten rain to people so small
You're the hope that fills my heart
You take my hand when my world falls apart
Please stay with me, and hold out your hand
I never know when I might need to stand
Sometimes it's hopeless, but you help me cope
To stand on my own and hold on to hope
You're my angel when the glass breaks
When the blood flows, and my heart aches
You're whisper that urges me on
To get up and walk and wait for the dawn
Please stay with me, and hold out your hand
I never know when I might fail to stand
Sometimes it's hopeless, but you help me cope
To stand on my own and hold on to hope
(Why do the scars on these arms seem to bleed
Like a saint, overcome with hopeless greed?)
You're my angel in my time of need
When the gray overtakes the colors that bleed
You're my angel that heals my arms
And feeds me love, and expels harm
Please stay with me, and hold out your hand
I never know when I might need to stand
Sometimes it's hopeless, but you help me cope
To stand on my own and hold on to hope
