[Intro] Bells rang out, last page turned Window page still trembling there In my pocket folded dreams Drift with last night’s rain away [Verse 1] Morning halls still dark and still She has pushed the first door wide White coat sharp and clean as wind Walking just ahead of time She knows every room by heart Every breath and what it means Not a miracle from heaven She stays right here with you [Chorus] Oh white angel in the light Setting every fear in place Those two hands are more than skill They are love we see on earth Oh white angel no grand words Yet makes common life so bright In old Beijing in the nineties She was light itself [Verse 2] Work will never show on her face One short word can bring you peace Swift in motion strong in gaze Grace comes straight from duty She knows when her touch is soft She knows when she must be firm At the edge of life and pain She brings the order back [Chorus] Oh white angel in the light Turning fear to quiet peace Not a vow upon a page But each day she gives her all Oh white angel pure and bright Not because the world must see But when the world is at its weakest She stands first in line [Bridge] In the silent night When hope grows thin Who is still there Still awake Not for praise Not for fame She knows this road Duty mercy [Final Chorus] Oh white angel Light of those old days Warmth and duty Wrote her very name Oh white angel Not for shining far But wherever people need her most She is always there [Outro] She needs no praise She needs no song
