Lyrics
An angel came into my life
And took away all of the strife
Now all I can do is dream of wings
In the spirit scheme of things.
I know the spirit is for real
Though I cannot see...I can feel
The power of its love at hand
Telling me of my earthly plan.
Chorus:
On an angel?s wings
God lifted me up
Above all earthly things
I drank from a cup
The water of life
Tasted so good
Compared to the strife
I guess I knew it would.
There?s no doubt in my mind
As the newsreels rewind
And in these pictures I see
You looking back at me.
Repeat Chorus
Then I awoke and saw through my eyes
The green and blue of trees and skies
My eyes were sandy and as I blinked
I saw afterimages with each wink.
Repeat Chorus (and sing last line in chorus twice).
