Lyrics
Walk the line
Walking a path, maintaining a course of action
It's not easy
Challenging, difficult
I must stand alone
Choosing to stand independently
It's the kind of a life I've chosen
Selecting a particular lifestyle
Right or wrong
Regardless of right or wrong
I can feel
Experiencing a sensation or emotion
Near me always
Feeling a constant presence
Something to live up to
Having expectations to meet
Someone to depend upon
Having someone reliable to rely on
When I have fallen from grace
Facing a moment of moral decline
When I grow weak from the pace
Weakening due to the speed of life
I can feel the breath of gentle wings on my face
Feeling a comforting presence in challenging times
And when the world closes in around me
Feeling overwhelmed by the world
Then my angel
Referring to a comforting, guiding figure (angel)
Will come and roll away the stone
Expecting divine intervention to overcome obstacles
Like a hand reaching down from the heavens
Describing the angel's assistance as divine
And when the darkness falls all around me
Experiencing a time of darkness and difficulty
Then my angel
Anticipating the angel's help in revealing the truth
Will come and draw aside the veil
Feeling secure in the presence of the angel
I am safe in the arms of my angel
Emphasizing the safety provided by the angel
Anywhere
Assurance of safety at any place and time
Anytime
Emphasizing the universal nature of protection
In my mind I know
Awareness of being observed by caring eyes
That a pair of sweet eyes is watching me
The presence of comforting eyes regardless of location
Wherever I go
Questioning the reality of the experience
Is it real?
Uncertain about the authenticity of the situation
Am I dreaming?
Wondering if it's a dream or reality
Sometimes I don't know
Expressing occasional confusion
But I want to believe it's so
Desiring to believe in the positive experience
Let me dream on
Expressing a wish to continue dreaming
Is it profane or divine
Questioning the nature of the experience
Am I insane? I feel fine
Wondering about one's mental state but feeling okay
I can close my eyes but I still see it shine
Experiencing a persistent, shining vision even with closed eyes
