Lyrics

Cover me with angel wings
And other soft and pretty things
Protect me from all wickedness
Cause I am small, this world is vast
I need heavenly sympathy

Look on me with mercy now
Cause all these years have worn me down
Save me from my own mistakes
I am unsteady, this world it shakes
I need heavenly sympathy

Cause that night falls heavy when it comes
(Too tired put up a fight, too tired and the water is wide)
I'd trade all my cleverness for a song
There is a balm in Gilead

Light the way with golden beams
And other bright and holy things
Chase the noise off with song and harp
Cause I am soft, this world is sharp
I need heavenly sympathy
