Lyrics

Well I could have been sick I could have died I could have given up And not tried To make it to tomorrow Like a brokenhearted lover But there was a brand new start And suddenly I was taken New and faraway places And the music I was shaken It was a whole new race When I woke on that first day There was nothing I could say I was in the hands of angels Johnny and the governor Came and brought me to my senses They made me feel just like a king Made me lose all my bad defenses And they knew all the places I needed to go All of the people I needed to know They knew who I needed And who needed me And who would come help me And who would just let me be I was in the hands of angels Until this very day Inside the hands of angels What more can I say When you're in the hands of angels Life is oh so sweet And you feel the love Down deep inside Even out there on the street In the hands of angels
