Friends In High Places
by Eric Champion

Album: Eric Champion

Big Daddy to the rescue
Rescue, rescue

I've got some friends I know
They are on my side

When the devil and all of his buddies
Try to gang up on me
They meet me in the back alley of my mind
They say, "Eric, man, you're nothin'
You're nobody, you're zero"
That's when I call on my hero
And He rescues me every time, yes, He does
You should see those devils runnin'
When I tell them, "Big Daddy's comin'"

I've got some friends I know
They are on my side, on my side
I've got friends in high places
When I need some help
All I have to do is cry
I cry out to my friends in high places

Big Daddy to the rescue

When it seems this whole wide world
Is set against you
And you can't find a friend
Not even in yourself
And the thoughts that you have try
To convince you that nobody cares
It's just you and no one else
That's a lie from the pits of Hell
You are not a loner
There is someone in your corner

I've got some friends I know
They are on my side
Yo, devil, look out
I've got friends in high places
When I need some help
When I need some help
All I have to do is cry
I cry out to my friends in high place

Don't get me wrong
I wasn't born into this high prestige
I was adopted by a King
Through His Son, J.C.
Well, He cleaned me up
Gave me a brand new name
And now I got royal blood
Flowing through my veins
But the devil's been tryin'
To mess me around
Tried to bust up my family
Run me in the ground
Well, you're makin' me mad
You better listen up now
There ain't room
For the both of us in this town
Well, you're playin' with fire
You're barkin' up the wrong tree
You mess with me
You mess with my whole family
Your lies are gonna stop
You're gonna do the same
You're gonna wish you never
Ever heard my name
You see you're messin'
With the child of the Big Daddy
That ain't enough
You're gonna get it from His Son, J.C.
And the Holy Ghost is the next in line
With an army of angels followin' behind

Big Daddy to the rescue
Rescue, rescue
Big Daddy to the rescue
Rescue, rescue
Big Daddy to the rescue
Rescue, rescue
Big Daddy to the rescue
Whoa-oh-oh...

The whole world needs
To know what we know
Don't be bullied anymore
You are not alone
Because Christ is in your corner
Yeah, yeah

I've got some friends I know
(Whoo! Oh-oh...)
They are on my side
On my side, oh-oh...
I've got friends in high places
When I need some help
When I need some help
(Yeah)
All I have to do is cry
I cry out to my friends in high places

I've got some friends I know
They are on my side
I've got friends in high places
When I need some help
All I have to do is cry
I cry out to my friends in high places
(Whoo!)

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
