After Rob Benedict had his stroke in 2013, this was the first song he wrote. It was about how he felt he had a guardian angel that saved him.
[Verse 1]
The night, it brings a multitude of creeps and beggars and
They walkin' in a circle trapped in this foreign land
Waitin' on something, something real
I fly above it all, and I feel the moonlight breeze
Not even thinking why I'm flying with such ease
Angela, you knew I'd come down
Grass in my teeth, shame on me
This mortality, it seethes
Reminds me I'm not free
[Verse 2]
I dreamed I was a diver with a life supply of air
I cut my teeth on coral with a deep breath and a prayer
I logged a hundred hours in that reef
Waves would crash above me but that didn't bother me
But Angela, I saw you and I knew I couldn't breathe
I fell like a shell to the bottom of the sea
I woke up from my dream, shame on me
This mortality, it seethes
Reminds you it's not free if I bleed
Will you carry me if I need?
Will you ferry me?
[Bridge]
When you said anytime, did you mean anytime?
'Cause this here's my only, my only dime
Well, I could try you later, I could try
But Angela, you set me, you set me, you set me right
[Verse 3]
I dreamed I was a hero and all my parts were sound
No one's gonna bother me, deep inside this cloud
But then I woke up from that dream
Shame on me, yeah
[Chorus]
Angela, Angela, Angela
Angela, Angela, Angela
Angela, Angela, Angela
Angela, Angela, Angela
[Outro]
Yeah
You set me right, you set me right, you set me right
You set me right, you set me right, you set me right
Ooh-ooh-ooh
You set me right
Yeah
