Story Behind The Song
A young mother of two children that we know recently died after a long battle with cancer. She was married to the love of her life and it was amazing to see her strength and resolve. It made me question what I would feel towards the end of my life if I were to die now, leaving behind three young children and my wife, who is my best friend.

Lyrics
Lately, I look at myself
And I don?t know who I am
I have become just a shadow of who I was
Lonely, and scared for my girls
What will they do without me?
And how do you say goodbye to the love of your life?
Hold my hand and stay with me
Pray with me
I need your strength to hang on
(Chorus)
I feel the weight of the world is on my shoulders
Bearing down on me like a storm that never ends
We?re praying tonight by the candlelight
I?d be down on my knees if I could
I need an angel
I need an angel real soon
(Bridge)
I?m wasting away
Everyday brings me closer to the end
I?m trying to be strong
But it?s hurt for so long
I?m not sure if I can keep holding on
(Lead)
I feel the weight of the world is on my shoulders
Bearing down on me like a storm that never ends
The faces fade as I slip away
I?m caught up in the light of the moon
I need an angel
I need an angel real soon
