This song is very sad and touching. It allows the listener to see that there is always someone out there that will miss you when you die. It's a Mother singing to God about her daughter who is close to death. She is basically arguing her case. She's saying why God should not take her child away: she's too young, who'll look after her, he has taken enough, he has suffered the loss of a child too, she's the Mother's angel. It's very tender throughout and the bulid up to the final verses works well against the kind of acceptance that comes with the last few lines. All in all a wonderful song that touches anyone who listens.
