Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light
Hush, lay down your troubled mind
The day has vanished and left us behind
And the wind - whispering soft lullabies
Will soothe - so close your eyes
Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light
Sleep, angels will watch over you
And soon beautiful dreams will come true
Can you feel spirits embracing your soul
So dream while secrets of darkness unfold
Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light
Hush, lay down your troubled mind
The day has vanished and left us behind
And the wind - whispering soft lullabies
Will soothe - so close your eyes
Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light
Sleep, angels will watch over you
And soon beautiful dreams will come true
Can you feel spirits embracing your soul
So dream while secrets of darkness unfold
Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light
I've never been a overtly religious man, in fact, quite the opposite. However, for some reason, this song really speaks to me. It tells of angels protecting you from the darkness, a force that is inherent in every soul. Darkness is not inherently evil, but the light protects you from its evil side. I feel safe knowing that the angels will be protecting me even as I sleep, and the line "Let your arms enfold us" prompts a warm trusting feeling that makes me want to place my faith in some angel-like being. It also happens to be a plus that I could listen to this song over and over again without the slightest bit of staleness, so that's why I picked it. This song sends chills down my spine every time i hear it. In a way in reminds me of a slow ascent to heaven, in which you get rid of your earthly possessions and lace your faith in the angels to get you through this dark journey into the sky.
