[00:03.83]Outside a church on a Friday night
[00:07.05]Saw the lights were on, so he stepped inside
[00:10.84]Walked the straightest line to the nearest pew
[00:14.95]Bowed his head and spoke to you
[00:18.44]Said I know it's been a while and I must confess
[00:22.12]That since our last talk I've become a mess
[00:25.80]It's falling all apart, there's nowhere left to turn
[00:33.32]Oh God, are you listening in the heavens tonight
[00:40.80]And God, we need you more than ever tonight
[00:48.26]So close your eyes and start to breathe
[00:52.12]They're all around, do you believe
[00:56.11]That angels fight to ease your worried heart
[01:03.21]Keep whispering your broken prayers
[01:07.09]They're reaching down to meet you there
[01:10.91]And standing guard to walk you through the fear
[01:16.45]I know angels are near
[01:18.89]Turning off the lights, no peace at all
[01:22.49]The pictures of her son hang on her wall
[01:26.06]He's half the world away, gone to join the fight
[01:33.29]He grew up overnight, she's proud of all he's done
[01:37.27]But what's a mom to do when it's her only son
[01:41.09]All that she can pray is that he makes it home alive
[01:48.34]Oh God, she's looking to the heavens tonight
[01:55.88]And God, she needs you more than ever tonight
[02:03.24]So close your eyes and start to breathe
[02:06.96]They're all around, do you believe
[02:11.02]That angels fight to ease your worried heart
[02:18.14]Keep whispering your broken prayers
[02:22.04]They're reaching down to meet you there
[02:25.87]And standing guard to walk you through the fear
[02:31.32]I know angels are near
[02:49.31]In our life of joy and pain
[02:52.57]Even when it's dark, still a light remains
[02:56.11]You find it at a place where hope and fears align
[03:03.30]If we close our eyes and start to breathe
[03:07.06]They're all around, do you believe
[03:11.19]That angels fight to ease our worried hearts
[03:18.18]Keep whispering your broken prayers
[03:21.79]They're reaching down to meet us here
[03:25.96]And standing guard to walk us through the fear
[03:31.23]I know angels are near
[03:35.61]Angels
[03:39.40]Angels
[03:43.13]Angels are near
[03:50.89]Angels
[03:54.31]Angels
[03:57.50]I know angels are near
