Angel In Darkness

Angel flying blindly in the night
Darkness can turn your wings to clay
Know the fear that warns your flight
Trust the voices that travel on the wind, they say

Angel in darkness, rise up slowly
Take your shelter in the city of lights
Angel in shadows, your fears can save you
What does your heart say deep inside – listen to your heart

Angel since the day that you were born
Our choices made for you kept you from harm
First you walked then you learned to fly
Yes we taught you always to ask why, so we said  

Angel there’s darkness, so grow up slowly
Follow our voices you’ve heard from the start
Angel your instincts and truth will guide you
What does your heart say deep inside – listen to your heart

Comes a time in every life
When you fight or flight from fear
Oh Angel
The safety you prize comes when you learn to survive!

To find your way through the world today
Let your feelings guide the way
Think ahead and know just where you are
Trust the voices coming from your heart, they say  

Angel in darkness, rise up slowly
Take your shelter in the city of lights
Angel in shadows, your fears can save you
What does your heart say deep inside – listen to your heart

Rise up Angel, rise up and learn to fly
Rise up Angel, you must learn to survive
Rise up Angel, let go and learn to fly - learn to fly!
