Article One - Angels lyrics

Outside a church on a Friday night Saw the lights were on, so he stepped inside Walked the straightest line to the nearest pew Bowed his head and spoke to you Said I know it's been a while and I must confess That since our last talk I've become a mess It's falling all apart, there's nowhere left to turn Oh God, are you listening in the heavens tonight And God, we need you more than ever tonight So close your eyes and start to breathe They're all around, do you believe That angels fight to ease your worried heart Keep whispering your broken prayers They're reaching down to meet you there And standing guard to walk you through the fear I know angels are near Turning off the lights, no peace at all The pictures of her son hang on her wall He's half the world away, gone to join the fight He grew up overnight, she's proud of all he's done But what's a mom to do when it's her only son All that she can pray is that he makes it home alive Oh God, she's looking to the heavens tonight And God, she needs you more than ever tonight In our life of joy and pain Even when it's dark, still a light remains You find it at a place where hope and fears align If we close our eyes and start to breathe They're all around, do you believe That angels fight to ease our worried hearts Keep whispering your broken prayers They're reaching down to meet us here And standing guard to walk us through the fear I know angels are near
