This song is about the presence of angels in our lives.
lyrics
The rain fell so hard but the car wouldn't start
Had to push it my-self on my own
Then someone came by and lent me a hand
And we pushed it a mile or so home
It was dark, I was soaked but in-side I was choked
That someone would really care--
I lifted my head so my thanks could be said.
There was nobody really there
Up in the sky I heard an angel sing
Was it a nightingale upon the wing
Lifting my soul
Again I'm whole
Telling me not to worry about a thing
Life can be gray and I just have to pray
But God hears our ev'ry plea
Sometimes He sends an angel to help
And they often look like you and me
Often it's just a word that is softly spoken
A word from a faithful friend
To lighten the dark put my feet on a rock
Bringing healing to the broken
Up in the sky I heard an angel sing
Was it a nightingale upon the wing
Lifting my soul
Again I'm whole
Telling me not to worry about a thing
In the darkness of despair
Shines a light that we can share
Peace and comfort fill my brain
And I can face world again
Up in the sky I heard an angel sing
Was it a nightingale upon the wing
Lifting my soul
Again I'm whole
Telling me not to worry about a thing
