Broken and torn away Between the world of the living And the alive
Awakened from the slumber Shaken out of the dizzy spell Of immortality
A wreath of flowers is lain at her feet The angel gives a gentle, grateful grin Her eyes are bright and happy
She feels love She is love She has lived only to give us hope To give us faith
O, beautiful angel With a crown of roses And a houseful of memories
We thank you
For living For being alive For loving For being in love For giving love
O, guardian angel
Your throne in heaven Built up with soil And the smell and the sounds Of the psalms and the prayers Of the stars in the gold Bursting into your kingdom of peace
