Lyrics
Angels, bring me what I need
I’m tired of getting what I’ve asked for
And all the losses that I’ve grieved
While the fates just laugh and keep score
Every time I thought I knew
A path to lead me through
I was just treading the familiar:
Promise of another lie
Promise of one more good-bye
And faces far too similar
Angels, bring me what I need
I’m putting my baton down
Losing the illusion of control
Knowing the show will somehow go on
Feels like I’m naked on the stage
Blinded by the spotlight’s rage
Being told I’d better dance
No music’s coming from beneath
And all I have is two left feet
And the weight of circumstance
Angels, bring me what I need
Unto your guidance I’ll concede
All constraints I shall release
And pray to you my soul to keep
Stranded in the spotlight’s glare
I was completely unaware
Of the talents I could bring
With your support, I took the chance
Figured out that I could dance
With my champions in the wings
So angels, bring me what I need
Unto your guidance I’ll concede
And all constraints I shall release
And pray to you
Angels, bring me what I need
Unto your guidance I’ll concede
All constraints I shall release
And pray to you my soul
Angels, bring me what I need
Angels, bring me what I need
