Lyrics

What reminders will it take to truly understand
that every day has its ending, it's just not in your hands?
Looking back to what you had, or what will one day be,
the thing so nice about that picture is there you're feeling free.
But all the while in the footsteps of the world you see.
Sometimes it seems there's no escaping... the path it had to be.
Walking in the midst of a miracle and how rarely do we see...
I really would like to understand, I really would like to be...

In the arms of an angel that could show me the light...
a guide to stay unsteady hands, a focus for my sight,
a doorway to the mysteries of my soul.

Finally you've found what you're looking for, the world keeps spinning just the same. It's a blessing, it's a curse, it's wrapped up in the game.
But can you let go what you've embraced and embrace what you've let go?
I've tried so long to find the balance, I really would like to know.
Well you can hide from yourself the things that you most fear...
but I've been feeling for far too long that the day is drawing near.
I used to think 'no it won't be long till I'm grown and living free,
the simple truth knocking at my door', but it's now that I want to be...

In the arms of an angel that could show me the light...
a guide to stay unsteady hands, a focus for my sight,
a doorway to the mysteries of my soul.

Yet this moment is escaping into what tomorrow sees.
What's preventing my sweet surrender when I know it could set me free,...

Into the arms of my angel, won't you show me the light...
help to fill my reaching hands, bring focus to my sight,
and a doorway to the mysteries of my soul.
In the arms of my angel.
