There was a time when the clocks all stopped
when the world just went away,
i didn't know if it was night or day.
i didn't know if there were clouds or fire in the sky,
i didn't wanna live if i could die.
somewhere down the line i found myself up on that road,
where the devil led me, i would go.
i had sold my soul for pleasure,
thinkin' it would last,
all my hopes had vanished in the past.
Lost, i was lost like a child in the dark,
driftin' away with the tide.
god only knows how i made it back home.
i must have an angel on my side.
In the mornin' i'd wake up and shake my weary head,
wonder where i'd been and what i'd said.
was i on the river styx for all eternity?
would i drown forever in the sea?
why did anyone keep livin', what was there to find?
i wanted just a little peace of mind.
Lost, i was lost like a child in the dark,
driftin' away with the tide.
god only knows how i made it back home.
i must have an angel on my side.
Never had a flash of lightnin' comin' right at me,
one day i just know i woke up free.
the day was breakin', i was livin',
i couldn't tell you why,
first i laughed and then i learned to cry.
somethin' in my heart was sayin' you can reach the sky,
you just gotta live until you die.
Lost, i was lost like a child in the dark,
driftin' away with the tide.
god only knows how i made it back home.
i must have an angel on my side.
i must have an angel,
i must have an angel,
i must have an angel on my side.
