Lyrics

LOOK HOMEWARD, ANGEL


I dreamed I saw the shepherd walking in the field
Leading all the faithful to the river to be healed
He put them in the water, washed their tears away
When he looked at me, He smiled and I heard him say

Look Homeward, Angel
Spread your wings and fly
Look Homeward, Angel
To that highway in the sky
Leave the world behind you
I am by your side
Look homeward, Angel
I will be your guide

I was standing at the palace door a poor pitiful thing
Like a sparrow in the rain he took me under his wing
He said I was forgiven for the crimes I?m guilty of
I swear I ain?t done nothing to deserve this kind of love

Look Homeward, Angel
Spread your wings and fly
Look Homeward, Angel
To that highway in the sky
Leave the world behind you
I am by your side
Look homeward, Angel
I will be your guide

Look Homeward, Angel
Open up your eyes
One day you?ll be riding
That highway in the sky
Leave the world behind you
I am by your side
Look homeward, Angel
I will be your guide
