10. Heartbeat of an angel

From place to place I go
And know not where I’m bound
For a life that’s halfway through
That’s uncomfortable I’ve found

There’s a heartbeat of an angel
Hovering over me
A heartbeat of an angel
There beats my destiny
And I can’t turn it off
Nor turn it down
Or even turn away
There’s a heartbeat of an angel
Moves me day to day

The lines of history
Are laid out straight behind
For a future that’s unclear
They are no help I find

Though my life is a mystery
There are still signs that encourage me
And tell me there are better things
Worth fighting for
Though in terms of history
I surely fade to obscurity
My angel holds in front of me
An open door
I’m passing through

I know that time goes by
And I will go by too
I hope that when I go
There’s nothing left to do
