No mountain's too high for you to climb
All you have to do is have some kind of faith, oh, yeah
No river's too wide to make it across
All you have to do is believe when you pray

And then you will see the morning will come
And everyday will be bright as the sun
Hold on your fears, cast them on me
I just want you to see

I'll be your cloud up in the sky
I'll be your shoulder when you cry
I hear your voices when you call me
I am your angel

And when all hope is gone I'm here
No matter how far you are, I'm near
It makes no difference who you are
I am your angel, I'm your angel

I saw your tear drops and I heard you cry
All you need is time, seek me and you shall find, you
You have everything and you're still lonely
It don't have to be this way, let me show you a better day

And then you will see the morning will come
And all of your days will be bright as the sun
So all of your fears, just cast them on me
How can I make you see

I'll be your cloud up in the sky
I'll be your shoulder when you cry
I hear your voices when you call me
I am your angel

And when all hope is gone I'm here
No matter how far you are, I'm near
It makes no difference who you are
I am your angel, I'm your angel

And when it's time to face the storm, 
I'll be right by your side
Grace will keep us safe and warm, 
I know we'll survive, we'll survive
And when it seems as if your end this growing year
End is growing near
Don't you dear give up the fight
Oh, no just put trust beyond the skies

I'll be your cloud up in the sky
I'll be your shoulder when you cry, cry
I hear your voices when you call me, call me
I am your angel, your angel

And when all hope is gone I'm here, 
When all hope is all gone
No matter how far you are, I'm near
It makes no difference who you are
I am your angel, I'll be your

I'll be your cloud up in the sky
I'll be your shoulder when you cry
I hear your voices, 
I hear your voices when you call me
I hear your voices
I am your angel, I am your angel

And when all hope is gone I'm here, 
When all hope is gone
No matter how far you are, I'm near, 
Far you are, I'm near
It makes no difference who you are, 
I hear your voice
I am your angel, your angel, oh

I'll be your cloud up in the sky
Cloud in the sky
Your shoulder to cry
I'll be your shoulder when you cry
Baby Oh, yeah
I hear your voices when you call me, 
Oh, ho, oh, ho
Ho oh I'm your angel
