lyrics

When the folds in your knuckles are stained with the dust of the earth,
When the world crashes down on you, making you question your worth,
When friends disappear on you, without so much as a word,
When you're screaming your lungs out but no one around you has heard,

When the tears that you're crying are staining and stinging your face,
When the darkness takes hold and the light disappears from your space,
When tomorrow refuses to lift itself over today,
When the voices trip over each other,
And you can't hear what they have to say;

Whenever you're starin' down hell's ugly hounds,
They tear off your wings, pin you down to the ground
Steal your glory, your sanity,
Just know you'll always be an angel to me;

When the clothes on your back are more weight than your body can bear,
When your eyes are glassed over, unfocused in a half-empty stare,
When winter winds come howlin', cuttin' right through to the bone,
When the sins of your past come back demanding that you atone;

When the songs of the saints ring hollow and empty to your ears,
When the beauty of youth slides away from the truth of the years,
When regret grabs a hold of you, tearing you down from your dream,
When the tables are turned, the lines blurred,
And no one is quite who they seem;

Whenever you're starin' down hell's ugly hounds,
They tear off your wings, pin you down to the ground,
Steal your glory, your sanity,
Just know you're always an angel to me;

Soaring high,
Inspiring me
And surprising,
Those who don't believe
All that you are, all you can be, the sum of the whole, the wisdom to see
So when in doubt about what you can be,
Just know you'll always be an angel to me;
