My angel
so much I'd like to tell you
so much of what I've seen
I'd plant behind your eyes

My angel
I know I can’t compel you
to any of my ways
as you walk beneath the merciless skies

My angel
my angel
the more I see, the more I grow,
the less and less I seem to know
only that
life is just a balancing act.

The demons
the fear that will confine you
the fire that will burn
your innocence away

The heartbreak
the pain will seek and find you
and loneliness will grow
with every passing day.

My angel
my angel
I won’t be there to always dry
the tears that gently fill your eyes
so will you remember that
life is just a balancing act.

My angel
my angel
the more I see, the more I grow,
the less and less I seem to know
only that
life is just a balancing act.
