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
