Follow my lead
You got your back against the wall
That's what you need
Or else you got no chance at all

And when the moment comes along
That's when I will be strong
To feel afraid is more than ok

The angels are on my side
So tonight I'll rise

Follow my lead
And put your money where your mouth is
That's what you need
I couldn't be more sure about this

And when the moment comes along
That's when I will be strong
To feel afraid is more than ok
The angels are on my side
So tonight I'll rise

Sister of mercy writes on the wall
Nothing can come between us
Sister of mercy knows how to ease my mind

Follow my lead
You got your back against the wall
That's what you need
Or else you got no chance at all

And when the moment comes along
That's when I will be strong
To feel afraid is more than ok

The angels are on my side
So tonight I'll rise
