You say you're down on your luck Hey baby It's a long, long way up Hold back now, hold back your fears You say you're really down and out And you feel like there's no way out now Let go now let go of your tears some more
How many times have you asked yourself? Is this the hand of fate now that I've been dealt? You're so disillusioned this can't be real And you can't stand now the way you feel
I don't care about what they say I won't live or die that way Tired of figuring out things on my own Angel's wings won't you carry me home?
Chorus: And when you're down on your luck Hey baby It's a long, long way up Hold back now, hold back your fears And when you're really down and out And you feel like there's no way out now Let go now, let go of your tears some more
Repeat Chorus
I triumphed in the face of adversity And I became the man I never thought I'd be And now my biggest challenge, a thing called love I guess I'm not as tough as I thought I was
I don't care about what they say I wanna marry you some day Gonna wake up, it's a brand new day Angel's wings gonna carry you away Angel's wings gonna carry me away Angel's wings gonna carry us away
Repeat Chorus
Angel's wings gonna carry you away Angel's wings gonna carry me away Angel's wings gonna carry us away
