The rhythm of waves lapping on the shore,
Is like a beautiful symphony I've never heard before;
With every wisp of sea breeze that I inhale,
I'm finding the strength to stand up and face the gale;
For I've been caught up in the maelstroms of life,
Now I'm lying on the sand, finding it hard to revive...

As I remained unconscious by the waterside,
I dreamt of an angel cruising in with the tide;
He sat by me and listened to my shipwreck story,
As I complained, he smiled and spoke slowly;
The words he uttered are unforgettable to me,
For the wisdom he spoke changed who I am to be.

I awake to the rhythm of the lapping waves,
I embrace this familiar symphony with a smile on my face;
The words of my angel still ring in my ears,
I get to my feet and face my fears;
Calling out to the Lord, master of the sea,
Thanking Him for the angel He sent to me.

For my angel I have changed my outlook towards life,
I look not on my setbacks but rejoice for I'm alive;
I have chosen to give up my pessimistic ways,
Vowing to be optimistic, smiling always;
And when things get rough every once in a while,
I'll picture my angel and his beautiful smile.

"I am once more challenging life's dark waters,
Making it through the tempestuous weathers;
In you, dear angel, I have found meaning in life,
My motivation, my determination and a reason to strive;
You have given me reason to make a difference,
I'll perfect myself and go the distance;
Letting the Lord work marvels in me,
Because you are my angel and will always be.."

In every tidal wave I surf each day,
I think of my angel and the words he'd say
A new hope is alive with every heartbeat;
Perhaps in another dream we might once again meet...
