[Verse 1] I was small in that house With the floorboards talking back Hands that should've held me Only left me marked black I learned to go quiet Learned to take the hit While the Sunday bells rang Like they knew none of it [Pre-Chorus] And I prayed through the cracks In the bedroom wall If heaven had ears Would it hear me at all? [Chorus] Angels singing, hear me cry Church bells ringing, I survived Angels singing, hold me near Church bells ringing through my fear I was hurt then, hurt again God, don't leave me in this skin Angels singing, let me breathe Church bells ringing over me [Verse 2] Now I'm grown and shaking When a door shuts hard Old fear finds my body Like a hidden scar Different hands, same shadows Same cold in the room I keep saying my name Like a candle in bloom [Pre-Chorus] And I pray through the pain That still knows my face If love comes around me Let it move with grace [Chorus] Angels singing, hear me cry Church bells ringing, I survived Angels singing, hold me near Church bells ringing through my fear I was hurt then, hurt again God, don't leave me in this skin Angels singing, let me breathe Church bells ringing over me [Bridge] If I name the hurt Will it loosen its hold? If I let myself break Can I still be made whole? [Final Chorus] Angels singing, hear me cry Church bells ringing, I survived Angels singing, hold me near Church bells ringing through my fear I was hurt then, hurt again But I still reach for light ahead Angels singing, let me breathe Church bells ringing over me
