When words they mean nothing and everything you say is wrong You tell me your happy turn around and I'll be gone You think about leaving, leaving when the going's good You think about heaven and everything it means to you And I gave you hope and I showed you life Now you search for love in this world tonight And you run, and you hide There's a fire in your eyes And I say life is like a long road With open arms we walk this long road Precious little angel promises are made The door is lying open here I go again And I gave you hope, and I gave you love Now the change has come are you strong enough And you run and you hide There's a fire in your eyes And I say life (Angel) is like a long road With open arms (Angel) we walk this long road Bring me shelter, bring me truth You can turn it all around Break this silence, break this pain Help me turn it all around Am I talking to myself? And I wait night and day I've seen love turn to hate Nothing's changed, looking back Is it so wrong to want what we can never have? I say life (Angel) is like a long road To reach so high (Angel) we bow down so low Precious little Angel, promises are made The door is lying open here I go again, again, again I say life (Angel) And I say life (Angel) And I say life (Angel) Is like a long road And I say life (Angel) And I say life (Angel) And I say life (Angel) Is like a long road
