Hiding Within


Do you still care

Since I know you don't believe

You could say "there's no angel

Watching over me"

But that's where you're wrong

I know your faith may have died

But I'm still your angel

Watching from the sky

Far from your reach

And your soul's deepest fears

The demons have claimed you

You say "there's nothing for me here"

But don't believe in those thoughts

They are lethal lies

You may not know you have an angel

Watching from the sky

I've tried to send help

But birds can lose their way

And I've tried to come in person

But you wouldn't let me stay

I would say that I've given up hope

But that would be a sin

So I’ll wait for you to find your angel

Hiding within
