Lyrics
Angel of mercy watching over me, don?t let me wander too far
And though I?m frightened tell me what you see, tell me how to mend a broken heart.
Sweet angel spirit take me from this place, the vision only wounds my aching soul.
Maybe now in your embrace, I can find the courage to be whole.
So touch me Angel teach me to fly
through the joy and the pain.
I want to find the place in the sky
where the light falls down like rain.
Angel of mercy watching over me, please don?t let me wander too far
I?m not as frightened as I used to be, though I know it has to break the heart.
Now I know it takes a broken heart.
So touch me Angel teach me to fly
through the joy and the pain.
I want to find the place in the sky
where the light falls down like rain.
Angel of mercy, let it rain, angel of mercy, come on let it rain, angel of mercy, let it rain
