The Guardian Angel Song

By Paul McCann

I walked along a road that saw the dusk turn into dawn,

I wondered how much further would I have to travel on .

My blistered feet where telling me to carry on be strong .

I got down on my knees and sang my Guardian Angel song.

I wondered how much further would I have to travel on .

Then suddenly the pain in both my blistered feet had gone ,

I got down on my knees and sang my Guardian Angel song

and then I met a man who said his name was Brother John.

Suddenly the pain in both my blistered feet had gone ,

I looked at him and found the strength to carry on.

and then I met a man who said his name was Brother John.

My arms were tired and weary John said steady on be strong .

I looked at him and found the strength to carry on.

My blistered feet where telling me carry on be strong

My arms were tired and weary John said steady on be strong .

I walked along a road that saw the dusk turn into dawn .
