When I'm down on my luck And I'm searching for my soul When I'm feeling too much And I start to lose control When I'm down so low That even enemies don't want to know You still care for me Say a prayer for me And I know Ooh I like you hanging around 'Cause you lift me up when I am upside down Ooh you are my favourite sound 'Cause you're always down for lifting me up Like an angel when I hit the ground Throw your arms all around me when I'm feeling down Lift me up like an angel when I hit my low When your arms are around me I don't want to let you go When I'm lost along the way And I can't face another day And if I stumble on the road And if I can't carry a load And if I lose my faith in kindness And generosity Would you hold my hand Say you understand my pain Ooh I like you hanging around 'Cause you lift me up when I am upside down Ooh you are my favourite sound 'Cause you're always down for lifting me up Like an angel when I hit the ground Throw your arms all around me when I'm feeling down Lift me up like an angel when I hit my low When your arms are around me I don't want to let you go It's been a long hard road And it's only just begun my friend and this time I know You help me carry the load 'Cause you're always down for lifting me up Like an angel when I hit the ground Feel your arms all around me when I'm feeling down Lift me up like an angel when I hit my low When you're always around You're my favourite sound Lift me up like an angel when I hit the ground Feel your arms all around me when I'm feeling down Lift me up like an angel when I hit my low When your arms are around me I don't want to let you go I don't want to let you go 'Cause you lift me up now Well you're always around You're my favourite sound Lift me up now You lift me up Lift me up now Yeah you're always around You're my favourite sound Lift me up Oh yeah
