Angel’s Wings

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 moreHow 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?

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

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

Gonna carry us away

Gonna carry us away

Gonna carry us away
