Angel From Afar

Wrap me in your wings
angel from afar.

With your tender heart,
soothe my tormented soul.

Bring to me the strength
to battle life unfair.

My powers, they do grow,
with the sweet mercy you provide.

The time it is at hand,
that I might rise again.

Your ear, I bend with word,
as I question of your wisdom.

To accumulate your knowledge,
what price you've had to pay.

Your words, like rose petals,
do fall before my feet.

My path, you have made clear,
as where to go from here,

Angel from Afar.
