Angels for Kayla

You can look into those guarded eyes...
Past the velvet and the practiced lies...
Learned real young that the promises fade...
Carrying debts that she never made...
Fightin' like a soldier in a quiet war...
Wondering what all the hurting's for.

She don't ask for pity, don't want a hand...
Just a little peace she can understand...
In a crowded world, through a random screen...
God crossed our paths in the space between.

There are angels hanging over Texas skies...
Watching over Kayla as the shadows rise...
You don’t have to run, you don’t have to hide...
When the world gets dark, and Kayla cries...
No you never have to stand alone...
Through the longest night, we'll guide you home...
Yeah, angels for Kayla tonight.

Carrying your boy through the uphill fight...
Holding mama's hand in the hospital light...
Oh Kayla, who took the light away?
Who left the scars that you never name?
Still you show up with that steady grace...
Laughing off the dark in a lonely place.

Headsets on just to drown the noise...
Sharing the breaks with an easy poise...
Out of billions walking on this ground...
Unbreakable bond that grace has found.

There are angels hanging over Texas skies...
Watching over Kayla as the shadows rise...
You don’t have to run, you don’t have to hide...
When the world gets dark, and Kayla cries...
No you never have to stand alone...
Through the longest night, we'll guide you home...
Yeah, angels for Kayla tonight.

Tennessee to Texas, through the wire...
Walking side by side right through the fire...
God knew the healing this heart would seek...
And made us strong where the road got weak.

There are angels hanging over Texas skies...
Watching over Kayla as the shadows rise...
You and your mama standing through the storm...
Keeping each other safe and warm...
You don’t have to run, no need to hide...
When the world gets dark, and Kayla cries...
Yeah, angels for Kayla tonight.

Kayla cries...
You'll never walk alone...
Right by your side...
Angels for Kayla tonight.
