lyrics

Guardian Angel

Jacob lost his ladder
When he was working on his porch
He went searching low and low
Getting distraught
Then he came upon a pair of hover-boots
That changed his view
No matter he lost his ladder
Now he’s got flying shoes

(Here she comes, out of the blue)

He has a guardian angel
Like everyone on earth
All that sky above our heads
And yet we’re down here treading dirt
She’ll uncoil the strings
Attached to his kite
Wrap him up in her wings
And together they’ll take flight

You may believe in destiny
But you are no slave to fate
She’s here to tell there is no hell
There are no pearly gates
Instinct will inform you
Of the path that you must take
Listen out for your beating heart
And find a better way

(Here she comes, out of the blue)

You have a guardian angel
You may not hear her speak
But she’s there inside you
Somewhere deep
She’s more like a feeling
Helping you to choose
In the pit of your stomach
In everything you do

You may have a dream
It might not come true
Ideas, schemes and things
You always wanted to do
Try not to let that dream
Obscure the view
If you do this then you may miss
Avenues new

You have a guardian angel
She’s your guiding light
In your darkest hour
On the blackest, moonless night
She’ll wrap her wings around you
Together you’ll take flight
And from on high you’ll see the things
That down here are out of sight
