text: Well, I could have been sick, I could have died
  I could have given up and not tried
  To make it to tomorrow
  Like a broken hearted lover
  But there was a brand new start
  And suddenly I was taken
  New and faraway places
  And the music I was shaken
  It was a whole new race
  When I woke on that first day
  There was nothing I could say
  I was in the hands of angels
  Johnny and the governor
  Came and brought me to my senses
  They made me feel just like a king
  Made me lose all my bad defenses
  And they knew all the places I needed to go
  All of the people I needed to know
  They knew who I needed, who needed me
  And who would come help me and who would just let me be
  I was in the hands of angels
  Until this very day
  Inside the hands of angels
  What more can I say?
  When youre in the hands of angels
  Life is, oh, so sweet
  And you feel the love down deep inside
  Even out there on the street
  In the hands of angels
