Sweet Angel

Oh, my sweet angel
an angel on earth
how I mourn your pain
your heart lost it's berth
are there any remains?
that I could bear the burden
which carries your pain
I would do so right now
without any refrain
I can feel your heartbeat
so closely to mine
we were once together
before there was time
it was from the water
that we were both bourne
and on water we travel
from where we were torn
sprung forth from the oneness
asail on the sea
we chart out a new course
to find unity
I have fleeting memories
of home that was lost
we all have one true name
and we all bear the cost
of paradise broken
though all of us different
we  all were the same
that is why I can feel you
down deep in my heart
we are always together
though we're far apart
it has been from the beginning
and right from the start
so give me your burdens
let me soothe your pain
for with my own troubles
you have done the same
it is time to home now
for there's no one to blame
