Angel came down from Heaven yesterday
Stayed with me long enough to rescue me
And she told me a story yesterday
About the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea
Then she spread her wings high over me
She said she's goin' to come back tomorrow
And I said, "Fly on, my sweet angel, fly on through the sky
Fly on, my sweet angel; tomorrow I'm gonna be by your side."

Fly away, high away, fly away
Sure enough this morning came unto me
Silver wings silhouetted against a child's sunrise
And my angel she said unto me
"Today's the day for you to rise
Take my hand, you're gonna be my man, you're gonna rise."
Then she took me high over yonder

And I said, "Fly on, my sweet angel, fly on through the sky
Fly on, my sweet angel; forever I will be by your side."
And I said, "Fly on, my sweet angel, fly on through the sky
Fly on, my sweet angel; forever I will be by your side."
Fly away, come back another day

Don't let no one, no one get you down
Cause if they do, if they do I'll be around
I want you near standing here by my side
So my dear wipe those tears from your eyes

Don't let no one, no one get you down
Cause if they do, if they do, I'll be around
I wanna see you round me all the time
I want you to know that I am yours and you are mine

Don't let nobody get you down
Don't let nobody get you down

I'll keep you free
I'll bring you up, never down
You keep me happy all the time
You keep me happy, happy, all the time
You you you you you you, you blow my mind

Stood with my kid on the lonely windswept beach
The winter sun was on the horizon, and we were both out of reach
She ran ahead of me looking for the next surprise.
Our souls were wet from the incoming tide.
She stopped and looked at me Lord, with tears in her eyes.
It's only a dead bird, and his soul has gone to the sky.
He's free, not like you and me.
He's free, not like you and me.

I never ever thought, that you would be so out of reach.
And the lonely times have been like poison, child.
I wish I could practice, what I preach.
Then I can release these feelings, that I've been holding deep inside.
Been missing you so much baby, the only healer can be time.
By then you will have forgotten the dead bird on the beach.
But please, don't forget your father, child, Cause he's out of reach.
Yeah, my dream is to be free, free, free, freedom for you and me.
Yeah free, free, free, freedom for you and me.

You'll hear my music in the wind,
Hearbeat like the rolling tide.
One thing, you can be sure of, my love.
Wherever you go, I'll hold your love inside.
And I take a look, don't cry,
Even if he was livin' and you had him in your hands,
You'd still have to open up and let him fly.
That bird must be free!

She stopped and looked at me Lord, with tears in her eyes.
It's only a dead bird, and his soul has gone to the sky.
He's free, not like you and me
He's free, not like you and me

Freedom
Freedom for you and me
Freedom
Freedom
Free
Freedom.....

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
It's been the ruin of many poor girls
And me, oh God, am one

If you had listened to what your momma said
You'd be at home today
But I was young and foolish, oh Lord
You let a gambler lead you astray

Go tell my baby sister
Don't do as I have done
But shun that house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun

I'm going back to New Orleans
Your race is almost run
I'm going back to lay my head
Beneath that rising sun

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
It's been the ruin of many poor girls
And me, I'm one, oh God
And me, oh God, am one
