The Willow Tree - Charlies Angels Lyrics

I sat in the pews the sermon in my ears
But my heart whispered louder through the years
"What if" I thought as HE took the stage
HE'd stop in his words and confess his rage
I pictured the three of us Charlies angels in line
Called to the front a moment divine
Tears would fall repentance real
We'd forgive and maybe we'd heal

But HE never paused never said a word
I shut it down thinking it's absurd
I told myself HE made us strong
But deep inside I knew it was wrong

We were HIS angels flying too close to the flame
Caught in the crossfire carrying the blame
HE called us HIS but HE broke us apart
Left us with scars left us in the dark
And I dreamed of a day a moment so true
When HE'd say "I'm sorry I see what I've done to you"
But the silence remained and we carried the pain
Charlies angels broken in HIS name

I looked at my friends sitting upright on mission
We were the ones caught by HIS vision
I saw the damage the hurt in their eyes
But we followed HIM still under all the lies
HE taught us to be tough to endure the strain
But we never knew how to heal from the pain
We honoured HIS name we carried HIS cross
But somewhere inside we counted the loss

Still I hoped for a change a word a sign
That HE'd see us broken and confined
But HE stayed on the pedestal far from the truth
Leaving us longing lost in our youth

We were HIS angels flying too close to the flame
Caught in the crossfire carrying the blame
HE called us HIS but HE broke us apart
Left us with scars left us in the dark
And I dreamed of a day a moment so true
When HE'd say "I'm sorry I see what I've done to you"
But the silence remained and we carried the pain
Charlies angels broken in HIS name

What if HE saw us for who we are?
Not just HIS trophies not just HIS stars
What if HE named every wound every scar
Would we be free would we get that far?
I still dream of redemption still hope for release
That HE'd bring our hearts some kind of peace

We were HIS angels flying too close to the flame
Caught in the crossfire carrying the blame
HE called us HIS but HE broke us apart
Left us with scars left us in the dark
And I dreamed of a day a moment so true
When HE'd say "I'm sorry I see what I've done to you"
But the silence remained and we carried the pain
Charlies angels broken in HIS name

Charlies HIS angels but now we see
We were more than what HE claimed us to be
We'll rise from the ashes we'll find our way
No longer HIS angels we're free today
