We can touch the sky...

I was never looking 'round
Trying to find someone
That'd like to tie the knot
Little did I know
I was in need
To find the one that made me feel so heavenly

There's no way that I'm
Ever goin' back again
Heaven's in your arms
Got me until the end

Let me be your angel
To the golden door I'd do come running
When you need someone
I'll be your angel
When you wanna fly I'do come running
And we can touch sky

We can touch the sky...

Some people, will never see
How you came into my life
And set me free
But little do they know
That I've been found
Flying so high, so high above the ground

There's no way that I'm
Ever goin' back again
Heaven's in your arms
Got me until the end

Let me be your angel
To the golden door I'd do, come running
When you need someone
I'll be your angel
When you wanna fly I'd do, come running
And we can touch sky

Let me be the lady in your life
Let me be the one that has your flight
Let me be that angel love that you've been looking for

Let me take your feet up off the ground
Let me promise you'll never come down
Let me be the lady that you cherish and adore

Let me be your angel
To the golden door I'd do, come running
When you need someone
I'll be your angel
When you wanna fly I'd do, come running
And we can touch sky

Jennifer Hudson first entered the public consciousness as a 22-year old from Chicago trying out for American Idol. Her American Idol tenure ended in 2005, after finishing in seventh place.

Since the show, she’s gone on to have successes as a singer, theater actor, and movie star. Her first big break was her role as Effie in the 2006 film Dreamgirls. She starred alongside Beyoncé and won 29 awards for her performance—including the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2007. She went on to star in numerous films as well as the theater production The Color Purple, based on the novel by Alice Walker.

Hudson released her first album in 2008 entitled Jennifer Hudson. That same year, she suffered a major loss while on tour when her mother, brother, and nephew were killed by her sister’s estranged husband. She released subsequent albums I Remember Me in 2011, and JHUD in 2014.
