Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All you have to do is have some climbing faith, oh yeah
No rivers too wide, for you to make it across
All you have to do is believe it when you pray
And then you will see, the morning will come
And every day will be bright as the sun
All of your fears cast them on me
I'll be your cloud up in the sky
I'll be your shoulder when you cry
I'll 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 the teardrops, and I heard you cry
All you need is time, seek me and you shall find
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'll 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
And I know we will survive
And when it seems as if your end is drawing near (end is drawing near)
Don't you dare give up the fight (oh no)
Just put your trust beyond the skies
I'll be your cloud up in the sky
I'll be your shoulder when you cry
I'll 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'll be)
I'll be your cloud up in the sky
I'll be your shoulder when you cry
I'll 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'll be your cloud up in the sky
I'll be your shoulder when you cry
I'll hear your voices when you call me (oh, oh)
I'm your angel
The song "I'm Your Angel" by Celine Dion and R. Kelly is about being a support system to someone in need. The lyrics seek to reassure the listener that they are not alone in their struggles, and that there is someone who will always be there to comfort and guide them. In the first verse, the lyrics compare life's challenges to mountains and rivers, underscoring the idea that no obstacle is too great to overcome with faith and belief. The chorus emphasizes that the singer is willing to be the listener's protector and confidante, willing to provide a shoulder to cry on when needed. The song also touches on themes of hope, survival, and faith in a brighter future, with lyrics such as "And then you will see, the morning will come" and "Grace will keep us safe and warm."
One interesting fact about "I'm Your Angel" is that it was included on both Dion's holiday album These Are Special Times, as well as R. Kelly's album R.. The song was released as a single in 1998 and went on to become a huge hit, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and staying there for six weeks. Another interesting fact is that the music video for the song features Dion and Kelly singing in different locations while footage of a mother and her child fleeing danger is interspersed throughout. The video often appears on lists of the most emotional music videos of all time, due to its powerful depiction of fear and resilience in the face of adversity.
Interestingly, "I'm Your Angel" was not originally intended to be a duet. Kelly wrote the song with himself as the only vocalist in mind, but after playing it for Dion's husband, manager René Angélil, they decided that Dion should feature on the track as well. The decision turned out to be a wise one, as the combination of Dion's soaring vocals and Kelly's smooth R&B style created a memorable and emotional song that resonated with audiences around the world.
