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 it go now, let go your tears some more

How many times have you asked yourself
Is this the hand the 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 figurin' 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 it go now, let go your tears some more

I triumphed in the face of adversity
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'm gonna marry you someday
Go ahead and 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

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 it go now, let go your tears some more
Angel's wings gonna carry you away
Angel's wings gonna carry me away
Angel's wings gonna carry us away
