His eyes told stories of boundless lands
His lips quivered symphonies of a thousand bands
He took the world upon his shoulders
He parted rivers so I could cross

My fragile heart of glass was shattered
The tiny fragments roughly scattered
He picked up the pieces and put them together
And lifted me up and carried me onwards

All before me was an ugly sketch
I saw no colours, I saw no distance
The world kept spinning oblivious to my presence
Every next step was a trudge through a tangle

And then upon a rainbow he transcended
Beneath a resplendent beam of light
Every night I hoped for a miracle
There came the answer to my prayers

He painted my world an array of colours
He cleaved the thickets that obscured my path
I saw the flutters of a butterfly
I saw the jewels that dotted the night

An angel descended when I was downest
To urge me on, to hold me through
In a world so full of uncertainties
I find assurance in my fallen angel
The angel that brought me to life
