She didn't go nowhere without it
Silver angel on a bracelet
Call it superstitious
Cuz she felt safer with it
But, she took that angel off its chain
Before her son boarded his plane
And said hold these wings and say a prayer
To cover you while you're over there...cause,
Chorus
God knows exactly what we need
That's what my momma told me
And that's what I believe (last chorus: when she gave this to me)
That He'll always be right there with you
You might not know it when it happens but He'll get ya through
He knew this life was full of pain
God gave us angels and this one on a chain
In the silence of the night its worse
Wondering what's out there ya thought you heard
Being brave and scared to death
Searching for whatever faith is left
He took a bullet that would send him home
In the darkest night he wasn't alone
Cause on a chain with his dog tags
He touched that angel when things got bad
And he said...
Bridge
His buddies said you're the luckiest guy I think we ever met
That's when raised up his tee shirt and showed them what was hanging around neck
Then he said...
CHORUS
