Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 feel so strong now 'cause you pulled me up
Pulled me up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up!
[Verse 2]
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, pull me up, pull me up
Pulled me up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up!
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
I was complaining, I was down in the dumps
I feel so strong now 'cause you pulled me up
Pulled me up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up!
[Verse 5]
I slipped and I got pulled
Pulled up, I tripped, and then you pulled
You pulled me up
I tripped and I got pulled
Pulled up, I slipped, and then you pulled
You pulled me up, pulled me up, up, pulled me up
Pulled me up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up!
[Verse 6]
I got up
You pulled me up
I stood up
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
Pulled me up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up!
Pulled me up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up!
[Verse 7]
Cast a shadow on the living room wall
Dark and savage with a profile so sharp
Deep and wonderful, food on the table
There's really no hurry, I'll eat in a while!
[Verse 8]
I was complaining, I was down in the dumps
I feel so strong now 'cause you pulled me up
Pulled me up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up!
[Verse 9]
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
Pull me up, pull me up, watch out!
Pulled me up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up!
Pulled me up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up!
Pulled me up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up!
