Well I could have been sick

I could have died

I could have given up

And not tried

To make it to tomorrow

Like a brokenhearted lover.

But there was a brand new start

And suddenly I was taken

New and faraway places

And the music I was shaken.

It was a whole new race

When I woke on that first day

There was nothing I could say

I was in the hands of angels.

Johnny and the governor

Came and brought me to my senses

They made me feel just like a king

Made me lose all my bad defenses.

And they knew all the places

I needed to go

All of the people

I needed to know

They knew who I needed

And who needed me

And who would come help me

And who would just let me be.

I was in the hands of angels

Until this very day

Inside the hands of angels

What more can I say.

When you're in the hands of angels

Life is oh so sweet

And you feel the love

Down deep inside

Even out there on the street.

In the hands of angels.
