Mommy,  Daddy come and look at me now
I'm  a big man in a great big town
Years  ago who would believe it's true
Goes  to show what a little faith can do

I  was complaining
 I was  down in the dumps
I  felt so strong  now cause you
Pulled  me up
 Pulled me up-up-up-up
Up-up-up-up

I  slipped
 And I got pulled
 Pulled up
 I tripped
 And then you pulled
 You pulled me up
 I slipped
 And I got pulled
 Pulled up
 I slipped
 And then you pulled
 You pulled me up
 Pulled me up
 Pulled me up
 Pulled me Up-up-up-up
Up-up-up-up
I  drift away to another land
Sleeping  dreaming such a simple thing
I  think of things that I might be
I  see my name go down in history

 And you pulled me up
 I stood up
 And you pulled me up
 I got up
 And that was because you pulled me up
 I got up
 In a little while you pulled me up
 |--CHORUS--|
I  cast a shadow on the living room wall
Dark  and savage with a profile so sharp
Keep  that wonderful food on the table
There's  really no hurry, I'll eat in a while
