An Angel

At fifteenth it’s hard to take a stand    
I never thought I’d be the one  
Until you see your mother cry
And feel your father’s gentle hand  
   
And God...    
Gave me an angel    
To find my way  
I fought so hard  
For my soul to sing  
Songs from me to you  
From the birth of a new day  
   
I guess I couldn’t see it then  
Honors has no participation trophy  
I worked hard and not just for me  
Now my life is a reflection of time and time again  
   
And God...    
Gave me an angel    
To find my way  
I fought so hard  
For my soul to sing  
Songs from me to you  
From the birth of a new day  
Birth of a new day  
   
So many miles but we’re never apart    
When my sun is setting low    
I think of you as your sun is on the rise  
Even in the spotlight you’re always in my heart    
   
And God...  (and God)  
Gave me an angel    
To find my way  
I fought so hard  
For my soul to sing  
Songs from me to you  
From the birth of a new day  
Birth of a new day  
   
You’re always and forever my new day
