Angel of Bogotá
i fell to the unforgiving earth
hit like thunder broken
fragments from here to Dakar
my kind extinguished
walking to forever across the sand
alone in the dark angry at God
I crossed myself and prayed anyway
blinded by the light the angel held
to guide me from my hell
angel from Bogotá
you healed me with love
full spectrum
i praise the Lord the light was sent
to the doubting child who believes
again
i am whole and I can fly
because my angel you chose to love
me
and I chose to live
i fell to the unforgiving earth
hit like thunder broken
fragments from here to Dakar
my kind extinguished
walking to forever across the sand
alone in the dark angry at God
I crossed myself and prayed anyway
blinded by the light the angel held
to guide me from my hell
angel from Bogotá
you healed me with love
full spectrum
i praise the Lord the light was sent
to the doubting child who believes
again
i am whole and I can fly
because my angel you chose to love
me
and I chose to live
