Workin' Overtime
Angels at Work: Defying Fate with Amazing Grace
Lyrics
Well, I've sure done a lot of fast livin' out on the edge
Reflecting on a life filled with risky behavior and living on the edge
And I swear it's a miracle I didn't ever end up dead
Expressing surprise at surviving dangerous situations
Must've been Mama on her knees prayin' by her bed
Suggesting that prayers from the speaker's mother might have protected them
And believin' in all those words that are written in red
Believing in religious teachings and guidance (possibly referencing Biblical verses)
'Cause I been hangin' on a wing and a prayer and
Continuing to live recklessly, taking risks, but barely holding on
Double daring, tempting fate and flying by
Engaging in daring behavior, challenging fate, and rushing through life
And I ain't sayin' that I'm worth savin'
Recognizing personal flaws but acknowledging potential divine protection
But I think my angels are workin' overtime
Feeling that guardian angels are actively watching over despite personal worthiness doubts
I'ma do it my way kinda girl, hardheaded and strong
Identifying as an independent and determined person, sticking to their own beliefs
Bitin' every line, every word to my own song
Embracing individuality and stubbornness in pursuing personal goals
Ended up on the right road even when I got it all wrong
Acknowledging mistakes but ultimately finding the right path
But I sure as hell know I didn't get here on my own
Attributing success partly to external help or guidance
'Cause I been hangin' on a wing and a prayer and
Reiterating the theme of barely holding on, taking risks, and facing challenges
Double daring, tempting fate and flying by
Continuing to take daring actions, challenging fate, and living impulsively
And I ain't sayin' that I'm worth savin'
Admitting personal shortcomings but acknowledging possible divine intervention
But I think my angels are workin' overtime
Reaffirming belief in the presence of guardian angels despite self-doubt
Maybe God in heaven's got a plan that I just can't see
Considering the possibility of a higher power having a plan despite uncertainty
Somebody up there's lookin' out for a sinner like me
Believing that someone or something is looking out for the speaker despite being flawed
If you ever have doubt, I'm all the proof you need
Offering oneself as proof of the incredible nature of divine grace
Of how truly amazing amazing grace can be
Highlighting the amazing aspect of grace despite personal imperfections
'Cause I been hangin' on a wing and a prayer and
Continuing to emphasize the precariousness of the speaker's life and decisions
Double daring, tempting fate and flying by
Persisting in taking risks, tempting fate, and living on the edge
And I ain't sayin' that I'm worth savin'
Acknowledging personal shortcomings and possible divine intervention
But I think my angels are workin' overtime
Reiterating belief in guardian angels despite doubts about personal worthiness
I ain't sayin' that I'm worth savin'
Repeating acknowledgment of personal flaws and potential divine help
But I think my angels are workin' overtime
Restating the belief in the continuous protection of guardian angels
Yeah, I think my angels are workin' overtime
Confirming the conviction that guardian angels are actively working on behalf of the speaker
