Another day is dawning Over the world i see Once again the sun is rising But its light won't shine on me For in my eyes All the world seems so dark With no care or compassion No love to fill my heart But as i walk this dark path Like a child lost from home In spite of my earthly solitude My soul roams not alone For a gift sent from the heights A messenger of light As an angel walks beside me And guides me through the night Rejoice, o friend, and have no fear She whispers, know that the kingdom is near No earthly sorrows will be on your way As you carry your cross through the bad day With her mild words she comforts my soul Animating my heart wherever i go Guarding me with a devotion so deep By a celestial song she lulls me to sleep With her gentle touch she illuminates my mind Lighting the candle of my inner light Knowing the strength that her presence brings me From sorrow and grief my life is free A unity of spirits And a bond of hearts we share Eternal is this covenant Eternal therefore our love Rejoice, o friend, and have no fear She whispers, know that the kingdom is near No earthly sorrows will be on your way When no earthly paths have led you astray As the world still mourns in darkness Its bitter tears still fall If only they could know That an angel watches them all
