St. Andrew (This Battle Is in the Air)

[Verse] This battle is in the air I'm looking upwards Where are the angels? I'm not in my home St. Andrew don't forsake me St. Andrew Don't forsake me Who is here to greet me? The children are kind I'm not in my home I travel backwards in ecstasy Where are the angels? Don't forget me St. Andrew I've been true What do I need to say? What do I need to say?
