Touch Of An Angel's Hand


I walked into a country store
  that I pass by every day
Was a picture on the counter
  with a notice that did say
Hello my name is Quintin
  and I'm only four years old
My folks ain't got no money
  but my story must be told

I've never walked a step
  nor with the other children played
But there is an operation
  that could help me on my way
So if you got some change
  please place it in this jar
But I really need your prayers now
  or a wish upon a star

    and I saw..........

(chorus:)
All good children dreaming
Grace upon the land
A broken child is mended
By the touch of an angel's hand
By the touch of an angel's hand
By the touch of an angel's hand
A broken child is mended
By the touch of an angel's hand

You know I've got a friend
  whom I saw the other day
At the age of eleven
  in a hospital she lay
Her kidneys were a'bleedin'
  she'd been damaged in a fight
And the doctors would remove them
  before the morning light

That evening she lay dreaming
  of an angel dressed in gold
He placed his hands inside of her
  he said to make her whole
That morning all the doctors
  stood around in disbelief
For the test results before them
  showed her healing was complete

(chorus: 2X)

(coda:)
.....A broken child is mended
By the touch of an angel's hand
By the touch of an angel's hand
