Angel Girl

It takes a strong girl,
To smile through her tears
To pick herself up again,
And continue to persevere

It takes a strong girl,
To face her every fear
To overlook the negative—
Every glare and every sneer
~ * ~
It takes more than heartbreak
To break her
It takes more than one storm
To shake her
It takes more than a chain
To make her—
Stay down—
She can take more than that
~ * ~
It takes a joyful girl,
To keep on singing along
When her days darken,
And everything goes wrong

It takes a joyful girl,
To know were she belongs
Neither wind nor rain can stop her,
She lets nothing hush her song
~ * ~
It takes more than heartbreak
To break her
It takes more than one storm
To shake her
It takes more than a chain
To make her—
Stay down—
She can take more than that
~ * ~
It takes a secure girl,
To see that she’s not plain
To know that she is priceless,
And not throw her life down the drain

It takes a secure girl,
To let go of her pain
To conquer every trial,
And break off every chain
~ * ~
It takes more than heartbreak
To break her
It takes more than one storm
To shake her
It takes more than a chain
To make her—
Stay down—
She can take more than that

Every girl is an angel,
Her heart is her wings
Some are set free to fly,
Others are tied down by strings

Every girl is an angel,
Free to dance and free to sing
She’s allowed to enjoy every moment,
And the happiness life does bring
~ * ~
It takes an angel girl,
To remember what she forgave
To cast away her bitterness,
And not become its slave

It takes an angel girl,
With a heart so bold and brave
To pick up her halo,
And overcome her grave
