Down here I tend to worry.
Down here the valleys are dark.
Down here it surely ain't no picnic.
It aint no walk in the park.
Up there I see a mountain
where the sun is shining bright.
On my own I can't make it.
Send me an angel to lift me to the light.
Chorus:
Angels swing a little lower.
Carry my troubles away.
Lift these burdens from my shoulders.
Angels swing oh angels swing a little lower.
Paul and Silas in the jail house.
In peril though they'd done no wrong.
Lifted their eyes up to heaven.
Lifted their voices in song.
Soon there came the sound of thunder.
The shackles fell at their feet.
An angel opened up their prison.
Lord send the same one for me.
Chorus repeat
Bridge:
Don't ever give up.
Don't ever give in.
You have a heavenly angel
keeping an earthly friend.
Chorus repeat
Angels swing oh angels swing a little lower.
Angels swing oh angels swing a little lower.
