Help me Angel
Plant my feet a little higher
Help me Angel
I've been too close to the fire

Help me Angel
Make my dream a little brighter
Help me Angel
Help me turn on all the lights

You've seen all the sights
You live through the nights
You got somethin' I have to know
'Cause I've still got so far to go

Help me Angel
'Cause it's so dark everywhere
Help me Angel
To find the magic in the air
Help me Angel, come on

Oh, you got what I have to find
In the sunshine, in the night, yeah

Help me Angel
Plant my feet a little higher
Help me Angel
I've been too close to the fire, come on

Help me Angel
Make my dream a little brighter, yeah
Help me Angel
Help me turn on all the lights, come on

Help me Angel
Oh, help me Angel, come on
Help me Angel
I've been too close to the fire

Come on, help me Angel
Oh, help me Angel
Help me, help me, help me Angel
Help me to turn on all the lights, oh

Steven Lawrence Winwood is most famous for his solo work, including two number one hits Higher Love and Roll with It, and for being the member of two supergroups, Traffic and Blind Faith, along with helping found the Spencer Davis Group at fourteen years old.

Speaking of which, Mozart had nothing on Winwood as a keyboard

As a boy in middle school, little Stevie Winwood played the Hammond synth for Blues gods and Rock & Roll founders like Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley, when they toured in Britain. We’d list more, but it’s exhausting to link all of those names.
