In a secret garden,
In the center of the sky,
She sits
She sighs
She smiles
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
