I asked the angels to look over you br To shield you with their wings br Like a dying rose withers and a sinner has sinned br Both entering the darkness… both beginning an end br So then I asked the angels to shield you with their wings br br I prayed to the heavens to stop your tears of pain br Like a silent warrior they cannot be seen br Your tears are flowing like rain br You’ve tried to cover them with laughter br So then I asked the angels to please br Please shield you with their wings br And to take away your pain br br I wished on the stars to keep you safe br Away for the darkness devouring life, away from evil br Corruption and hate br Your soul pure and your heart more beautiful br Than when an angel sings br Once again I asked the angels to shield br You with their wings br br Now there will come a time when you feel br The presence of nothing br There will come a time when you feel that you’re falling br There will come a time that you feel your angel has fallen br Fallen from broken wings br br I will not ask the heavens and I will not ask upon the stars br But never fear an angel will not be far br Do not fear the darkness nor solitude when it sings br For I will be your angel and I will shield you with my wings br br Someone once said to me, br “I never felt the presence of an angel” br Look into the heart and soul of your true friends br And there you will find angels shielding br You with their wingsbr br Lisa Harveybr br
