Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a wonder, baby like you and I
All the colours of the rainbow
Going somewhere, baby like you and I
It's going to be alright
But when my clouds sky over
(Lift Me Up) When the day is over
(Show me love) I will be your angel now
(Lift Me Up) When the lights are fading
(Talk me down) When I'm flying way up high
(Show me love) And I'll be your angel for life
Your angel for life
Like the seasons ever changing
Everlasting baby, like you and I
It's going to be alright
But when my sky clouds over
(Lift Me Up) When the day is over
(Take me up) When the sun is going down
(Show me love) I will be your angel now
(Lift Me Up) When the lights are fading
(Talk me down) When I'm flying way up high
(Show me love) And I'll be your angel for life
Your angel for life
No matter where we run
Who knows what we will become
Is there a world we know
Where life will naturally
(Lift Me Up) When the day is over
(Take me up) When the sun is going down
(Show me love) I will be your angel now
(Lift Me Up) When the lights are fading
(Talk me down) When I'm flying way up high
(Show me love) And I'll be your angel for life
Your angel for life
(Lift Me Up) When the day is over
(Take me up) When the sun is going down
(Show me love) I will be your angel now
(Lift Me Up) When the lights are fading
(Talk me down) When I'm flying way up high
(Show me love) And I'll be your angel for life
Your angel for life

Watch the first light kiss the New World
Witness the beauty of the sunrise on the horizon
It's a wonder, baby like you and I
It's amazing how we exist and are together
All the colours of the rainbow
There's a full spectrum of possibilities ahead
Going somewhere, baby like you and I
We have a journey ahead and we'll face it together
It's going to be alright
No matter what happens, we'll make it through
But when my clouds sky over
When I'm feeling low and discouraged
(Lift Me Up) When the day is over
Help me rise above my troubles at the end of the day
(Take me up) When the sun is going down
Bring me up as the day ends and darkness sets in
(Show me love) I will be your angel now
I'll offer you my support like a guardian angel
(Lift Me Up) When the lights are fading
Help me see the light when things are dark and uncertain
(Talk me down) When I'm flying way up high
Bring me back down to reality when I'm getting carried away
(Show me love) And I'll be your angel for life
I'll always be there to lift you up and support you
Your angel for life
I'm devoted to you forever
Like the seasons ever changing
Life is always evolving and shifting
Everlasting baby, like you and I
Our love will endure through all these changes
No matter where we run
No matter where we go
Who knows what we will become
Who knows what the future holds for us?
Is there a world we know
Is there a place where we belong?
Where life will naturally
Where we can be at peace and live authentically

OK she might not be everybody's cup of tea, but she has a lower pitched voice.
Atleast it's something abit different.
I think she sounds brilliant in this.
Soo what if she's not as strong as the other girls?
She suits this song right down to the ground as far as I'm concerned.
She had the guts to start her own solo stuff .
THose that moan about it prob don't see them doin the same, they're just hecklers who prob couldn't sing themselves LOL.
