Thanks to an Angel

Coming out of the storm, having weathered the torrent

My eyes were wide open, my soul needing nourishment

Having lived under the clouds, the world a vast span of gray

Oh how thankful I am for the dawning of another glorious day

Once colors were absent, each memory black and white

Each morning turned to day, each day turned to night

It all ran together, there was nothing I could do

Except believe and have faith, I had to make it through

At the darkest hour when gray turned to black

And my soul, my being, was under attack

I was ready to give up and fight no more

My strength was gone, my soul was torn

God sent an angel to show me the way

To help me out of the clouds of hurt and dismay

My angel carried me and taught me oh so much

He led me and pushed me and never gave up

Now the colors are vibrant and how blessed I am

To have been reborn and believe in the goodness of man

Shades of gray are now forbidden in this glorious life

All thanks to an angel who never let me out of his sight.

Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
