The world can kick you when you're down
And it shows no mercy
It makes them smile to see you frown
But just wait and they will see
This would kill the weaker man
But it's been keeping me alive
Through all the negativity
Somehow I know I will survive
And when the clouds have all passed by
They'll see we'll both be standin
When sunshine turned to gray
You saved me in my darkest hour
You stood by me and stayed
You gave me all my strength and power
We've seen the others come and go
Through the thick and through the thin

And when we thought of lettin' go
Somehow we knew we'd always win
And when the dust finally settle
We will both be still standin
When sunshine turned to gray
You saved me in my darkest hour
You stood by me and stayed
You gave me all my strength and power
And when I was left for dead
And everybody turned away
I heard every word you said
And you helped me to set me free
When sunshine turned to gray
You saved me in my darkest hour
You stood by me and stayed
You gave me all my strength and power
And when sunshine turn to gray
In my darkest hour
You stood by me and stayed
Stay with me, my guiding angel.
