Send me an Angel

By the Scorpions

The wise man said just walk this way
To the dawn of the light
The wind will blow into your face
As the years pass you by
Hear this voice from deep inside
It's the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
The passage out of the dark

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star

The wise man said just find your place
In the eye of the storm
Seek the roses along the way
Just beware of the thorns

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star

The wise man said just raise your hand
And reach out for the spell
Find the door to the promised land
Just believe in yourself
Hear this voice from deep inside
It's the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
The way out of the dark

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star


Comments : 

Brief background - this power ballad is by German heavy metal band Scorpions released in their 1990 album Crazy World. A band I started listening to in 1991 with the famous 'Winds of Change'. There have been suggestions of allusions to the scriptures - Jesus as the morning star … or the land of the morning star as a metaphor for hope. Take your pick and enjoy Klaus Meine's tenor voice in his German accent here..  and perhaps you will have a visit from your guardian angel this evening too :-)

And you can listen to the song here.
