Analysis of To My Guardian Angels
Lost in a sea of heads
Struggling to find my stead
'Twill be cold again tonight
Courage seems away from sight
The fog beclouds my will to fight
But I refuse to despair
Life itself is not all fair
Thoughts of you shall be my cloak
The warmth of your love I'll soak
To make me solid as an oak
