Guided By An Angel

[Intro] (Instrumental intro: Acoustic guitar, soft piano, gentle rain sound effect fading in and out) [Verse 1] Rain lashed down on a highway dark Her headlights dimmed, just a fading spark But somethin' brighter burned inside her soul A dream of family, makin' herself whole He should've been home, tucked in tight But fate kept him workin' through that night A twist of road, a call he couldn't ignore God put him right there, outside her door [Chorus] Oh, she was young, he was too Just two lost souls, seein' life through She dreamed of laughter, a baby's sigh He said "Never," 'til he looked her in the eye Guided by an angel, meant to meet On that rain-soaked, lonely street Two paths converged where the headlights gleamed Startin' a journey, just like they dreamed [Verse 2] He was set against it, kids? "No way" But her gentle hope just wouldn't sway She showed him somethin' worth buildin' for Opened a heart he'd barricaded the door Twenty long years, the road got rough Times were plenty hard, times were tough But side by side, they weathered every storm Two kids grew tall, took their own form [Chorus] Oh, she was young, he was too Just two lost souls, seein' life through She dreamed of laughter, a baby's sigh He said "Never," 'til he looked her in the eye Guided by an angel, meant to meet On that rain-soaked, lonely street Two paths converged where the headlights gleamed Livin' the journey, just like they dreamed [Bridge] The youngsters are grown, found their own light Mom and Dad show 'em how to do it right Through broken roads, they found their way The journey's not over, it's a brand new day She loves the mountains, the ocean's roar He loves the porch swing, watchin' the door But when she points the car towards the sun He packs his bag, says "Lead on, hon" [Chorus] Oh, she was young, he was too Just two lost souls, seein' life through She dreamed of laughter, a baby's sigh He said "Never," 'til he looked her in the eye Guided by an angel, meant to meet On that rain-soaked, lonely street Two paths converged where the headlights gleamed Still on the journey, just like they dreamed [Outro] (Instrumental swell: Gentle guitar and piano reprise the chorus melody, fading slowly with a final soft piano chord and distant rain sound) ...Guided by an angel... meant to be... (Fade out completely)
