Troubled Angel

When you saw me I was breakin

On the loose and on the run

I was running for my life then

For a part not yet begun

I'd been drifting and I'd lost my way

Tripped and fallen down

I wasn't born a choirboy

But still hoping to be found

Troubled angel

Can you hear the river sing

Troubled angel

It's me waiting in the wings

Troubled angel

If you're falling through the wind

You can always fly to me

Even on your broken wings

You fell out of a storm cloud

We were crawling in the rain

We both had tripped into the cracks

Hiding from our pain

You had a secret formula

To make good come out of bad

You brought me forth into the light

And let darkness keep the sad

Troubled angel, can you hear the river sing

Troubled angel

It's me waiting in the wings

Troubled angel

If you're falling through the wind

You can always fly to me

Even on your broken wings

I didn't see your troubles first

How you were wounded too

Like kindness when it's broken, broken up in two

I decided I'd do anything

So you'd never feel alone

I would teach my arms to build a nest

So your wings could find a home

Troubled angel

Can you hear the river sing

Troubled angel

It's me singing in the wings

Troubled angel

If you're falling through the wind

Ah, you can always fly to me

Even on your broken wings

There's smoke on the horizon

Where hearts burst into flame

There's music made in heaven

And feelings without names

I'm gonna reach you baby

I'll give everything I've got

Your love never surrendered

You never once gave up

Troubled angel
