Verse 1] Miguel's on the phone again tonight Talking to his handler, then his home Small village thousands of miles from this firelight Father's voice comes through, I'm not alone His girlfriend says I'm an angel sent Three nights together, heaven sent [Pre-Chorus] I don't feel like saving anyone I'm just a man who's broke and on the run But his father's grateful voice breaks through Maybe kindness is all we're meant to do [Chorus] They call me an angel in the desert But I'm just a man who said yes They call me an angel in the desert Trying my best like all the rest His father's thankful, says I saved his son But we're all just trying to outrun The darkness chasing us down An angel in the desert Is just someone who stuck around [Verse 2] Between the handler and the cartel call Between his family and his fear Miguel's managing it all From a campfire in the middle of nowhere His girlfriend pregnant, waiting back home His father praying he's not alone [Pre-Chorus] Three nights of gratitude through a phone Three nights of a father's worried tone Thanking a stranger for simple grace For giving his son a safe place [Chorus] They call me an angel in the desert But I'm just a man who said yes They call me an angel in the desert Trying my best like all the rest His father's thankful, says I saved his son But we're all just trying to outrun The darkness chasing us down An angel in the desert Is just someone who stuck around [Bridge - Soaring] Maybe we're all angels when we choose To see someone else's pain Maybe we're all angels when we lose Our fear of what we've got to gain His father doesn't know I'm broken too His father doesn't know I need this view Of who I could be When someone believes in me [Build - Electronic/Synth Instrumental] (Euphoric build with layered synths and drums) [Final Chorus - Full Power] They call me an angel in the desert But I'm learning how to fly They call me an angel in the desert Under this impossible sky His father's voice reminds me why We help each other survive The darkness all around An angel in the desert Is just someone who stuck around Someone who stuck around Someone who stuck around [Outro - Falsetto with synths] Angel in the desert (I'm no angel) Just a man who tried (Just a man who tried) Angel in the desert (We're all angels) When we stand beside (When we stand beside) Each other in the night Each other in the fight An angel in the desert Is just someone who stayed...
