I sit and wait, does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know the places where we go
When we're gray and old 'cause I've been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold

So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel that love is dead
I'm loving angels instead

And through it all, he offers me protection
A lot of love and affection, whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me, when I come to call
He won't forsake me, I'm loving angels instead

When I'm feeling weak and my pain walks down a one way street
I look above and I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows, he breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead, I'm loving angels instead

And through it all, he offers me protection
A lot of love and affection, whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me, when I come to call
He won't forsake me, I'm loving angels instead
I'm loving angels instead, oh, oh yeah

And through it all, he offers me protection
A lot of love and affection, whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me, when I come to call
He won't forsake me, I'm loving angels instead
