Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song at a time of change in my life. I had met some very cool people who had turned their lives around and I really related to it as I come from a home with alcoholism as well. It also conveys my belief about giving back.
Song Description
This is a song about people who are down and out due to substance abuse and about a woman who goes around helping these people out because she was once one of them.

Lyrics
© 1997 ANGEL
IN THE BOTTOM OF HIS GLASS, HIS PROBLEMS FADED FAST
WITH EVERY DRINK, HE?D THINK HE?D FOUND THE WAY
FOR ALL THAT HE?D BEEN THROUGH, THERE WAS JUST ONE THING HE KNEW
HE WAS LUCKY TO HAVE LIVED ANOTHER DAY
CHORUS:
TILL A HAND REACHED THROUGH THE DARKNESS
AND PULLED HIM TO THE LIGHT
HE NEVER KNEW HER NAME BUT SHE TOUCHED HIM JUST THE SAME
AN ANGEL TO LEAD HIM THROUGH THE NIGHT
AN ANGEL TO LEAD HIM THROUGH THE NIGHT
IN AN ALLEY BY THE WALL, SHE LET THE NEEDLE FALL
DOWN ON HER KNEES, SHE FREES THE RUBBER BAND
SHE TELLS HERSELF AGAIN, IT?S THE LAST TIME SHE?LL DEPEND
ON SOMETHING THAT SHE?LL NEVER UNDERSTAND
CHORUS:
TILL A HAND REACHED THROUGH THE DARKNESS
AND PULLED HER TO THE LIGHT
SHE NEVER KNEW HER NAME BUT SHE TOUCHED HER JUST THE SAME
AN ANGEL TO LEAD HER THROUGH THE NIGHT
AN ANGEL TO LEAD HER THROUGH THE NIGHT
BRIDGE:
ANGEL WALKS THE STREETS IN SEARCH OF THOSE WHO?VE LOST THEIR WAY
WITHIN HER SOUL, SHE KNOWS THEIR PAIN, SHE LIVED IT TILL THE DAY?.
CHORUS:
A HAND REACHED THROUGH THE DARKNESS
AND PULLED HER TO THE LIGHT
SHE NEVER KNEW HIS NAME, LORD, HE TOUCHED HER JUST THE SAME
AN ANGEL TO LEAD HER THROUGH THE NIGHT
AN ANGEL TO LEAD HER THROUGH THE NIGHT
