There was an Angel in my backyard
She brought her own lawn chair
I was out of beer, so I gave her water
We sat beneath the dimming sun
She held all the light in the world
Enough, to rid the darkness in my soul
Misfit walls of denial came down
The truth soon oozed outside
She said I was the root of myself
Of the misery dragging me down
She said I dove into unhappiness
With open arms and closed eyes
She said I painted my heart black
And never gave it a real chance
The damp air around me lightened
I tasted it fresh, I was refreshed
She laughed at my enlightenment
Because I was slow to catch on
She left, her glass was half full
