I never thought Id ever make it, I cant believe the hell Ive been through

Couldnt see the light at the end of the tunnel, I didnt know what to do

Ive been through the rain, Ive been through the fire

There was something that I never knew

Chorus

I had an angel on my shoulder, with a plan for me divine

Must be an angel on my shoulder, who was right there all the time

(angel, must be an angel) this world can be so cold and so heartless

Its hard to find your way alone, I used to run so fast, no one could catch me

I couldnt find the way back home, but Ive laughed, Ive cried

I almost died, but my broken heart just never knew

Chorus

I had an angel on my shoulder, with a plan for me divine

Got to be an angel on my shoulder, who was right there

Right there all the time, everybody needs someone to cling to

With an unchanging love, I finally found a hand to hold on to

A shelter to run to, now I see hes watching over me

Chorus

(angel on my shoulder, angel) Ive got an (angel on my shoulder)

Angel on my shoulder, with a plan for me divine

Got to be an (angel on my shoulder), angel on my shoulder

Who was right there, right there, right there all the time

Got to be an angel, an angel, an angel, right there all the time
