THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG, "BABY ANGEL"

When Amy found out her son was autistic, she drowned herself in desperate disbelief. Then a friend told her a beautiful story about an angel sent to earth as an autistic child to enjoy his final visit. That story etched into Amy's subconscious surfacing during difficult times. One night of the many, she woke to the horrible cries of her son. While trying desperetly to get him back to sleep, she started making up this song and singing it to him. Four hours a night gradually turned into a few minutes. And then a beautiful thing happened - her son (in his wispery voice) started singing the song back.

Here are the lyrics:

BABY ANGEL (5:08)

Baby Angel I hear your cry.
I will stay by you until you can fly.

On Earth he's labeled Autistic, misplaced in special ed.
But he's placed in a world that's been surely misled.
And as I have watched him at his young age, I see an angel without his wings.

Baby Angel I hear your cry.
I will stay by you until you can fly.

Baby Angel in a world all his own
Could it be heaven is all that he's known?
He doesn't say hello when I come home, nor do angels say good-bye when they go.

Baby Angel I hear your cry.
I will stay by you until you can fly.

Baby Angel so sensitive to noise
Could it be in heaven he never heard a harsh voice?
Baby Angel likes to spin and watch fans
Could it be in heaven Earth spins in His hands?

Baby Angel I hear your cry.
I will stay by you until you can fly.

Sometimes when he talks, I can't pick out a word.
Is it a language only Angels have heard?

And as I gaze upon this child like no other, I thank God every day for choosing me as his mother.

Baby Angel I hear your cry.
I will stay by you until you can fly.
Baby Angel I hear you cry.
I will stay by you until you can fly.
I will stay by you until you can fly.
Bye, bye
