[Verse 1] Mama, you found me small Under a bad sky You tucked the cold away And taught my heart to rise My knees were bruised by life My hands were full of ash You washed me with your patience And kept me from the crash [Pre-Chorus] If I shake, you stay If I break, you pray You put your light on me And lead me back to day [Chorus] You are the only angel I have known (only angel) You kept my bones from turning into stone (from turning into stone) I’m still here, I’m still here Because you loved me through the fear You are the only angel I have known (only angel) [Verse 2] You counted every fever You held my silent nights When my mind was like a riot You were the steadied light You gave me bread and brave You gave me name by name You made a home from broken And never asked for fame [Pre-Chorus] If I fall, you stay If I lose, you say “Stand up, baby, breathe” And guide my soul away [Chorus] You are the only angel I have known (only angel) You kept my bones from turning into stone (from turning into stone) I’m still here, I’m still here Because you loved me through the fear You are the only angel I have known (only angel) [Bridge] [Half-time] Take my bruised-up hands Take my heavy years I was almost gone, mama You pulled me through the tears Male: I was lost in the dark Female: You called me back alive Male: Every scar I carry Female: Is proof that love survived [Breakdown] Oh-oh, your love, your love Oh-oh, still in my lungs Oh-oh, I hear your prayer When the whole world comes undone [Final Chorus] You are the only angel I have known (only angel) You kept my bones from turning into stone (from turning into stone) I’m still here, I’m still here Because you loved me through the fear You are the only angel I have known (only angel) [Outro] [Acoustic guitars and flutes rise] Mama, if I make it far It’s because you stayed If heaven has a name for me It sounds like yours when you pray [Dubstep swell] Oh-oh-oh Still here, still here Oh-oh-oh Because you loved me here
