Evangeline

Evangeline

I need to heal my broken heart,
I need to get back in the race,
Come show me how and where to start
against the challenges I face

Am I as hopeless as I seem,
Embracing shadows in the night ?
You're like an angel in a dream
That's come to lead me to the light
You're like an angel in a dream
That's come to lead me to the light

I want to see what's been concealed
Is there some path to truth I've missed ?
Although I pray it be revealed
What my heart craves, my mind resists
I know you're honest as the day
You swear you have no lock on truth
Still, help me learn how to believe
and share the wisdom of your youth
Come help me learn how to believe
and share the wisdom of your youth

Please help me overcome my fear
The more I search, the more I fret
There was a time that God was near
So long ago that I forget
What was the key to my content,
How did I come to go astray ?
Are you the messenger he sent
To bring me back and show the way ?
Are you the messenger he sent
To bring me back and show the way ?

Yes, I'm as hopeless as I seem
Still chasing shadows through the night
You're like an angel in a dream
That's come to lead me to the light
You're like an angel in a dream
That's come to lead me to the light
