For The Angels Out There...


I can feel your anger and your pain
 
Throbbing through my veins
 
I can feel your tears in my eyes
 
And I'm smart enough to realize
 
Theyre for you , and what you're going thorugh
 
I carry all your sleepless nights
 
Drowned in your mind
 
All those useless fights
 
Ringing in my ears

I cant take this from you

though you know I want to
 
Its breaking my heart
 
To watch you fall apart
 
Its not right for me
 
to take this I believe
 
Though I want to try
 
To help you spread your wings and fly

The sunshine will come back
 
And I know that for a fact
 
You wil cross that mile
 
When you can really smile
 
But until then
 
We'll be waiting
 
And I can only say again

 
I can't take this from you

though you know I want to
 
Its breaking my heart
 
To watch you fall apart
 
Its not right for me
 
to take this I believe
 
Though I want to try
 
To help you spread your wings and fly
