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
Pull me up up up up
Up up up up

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

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

I was complaining, I was down in the dumps
I feel so strong now 'cause you pulled me up
Pull me up up up up
Up up up up
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, pulled me up
Pulled me up up up up
Up up up up

I got up 'cause you pulled me up
I stood up 'cause 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
Pull me up up up up
Up up up up
Pull me up up up up
Up up up up

I cast a shadow on the living-room wall
Dark and savage with a profile so sharp
Keep that wonderful food on the table
There's really no hurry, I'll eat in a while

I was complaining, I was down in the dumps
I feel so strong now 'cause you pulled me up
Pull me up up up up
Up up up up
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
Pull me up up up up
Up up up up
Pull me up up up up
Up up up up
Pull me up up up up
Up up up up
