I kept the right ones out, and let the wrong ones in
Had an angel of mercy to see me through all my sins
There were times in my life when I was goin' insane
Tryin' to walk through the pain
When I lost my grip, and I hit the floor
Well, I thought I could leave, but couldn't get out the door
And I was so sick and tired of livin' a lie
And I was wishin' that I would die
It's amazing, with the blink of an eye, you finally see the light
It's amazing, when the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright
Amazing, and I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight
That one last shot's permanent vacation
And how high can you fly with broken wings?
Life's a journey, not a destination
And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings
You have to learn to crawl before you learn to walk
But I just couldn't listen to all that righteous talk, oh yeah
I was out on the street, just a tryin' to survive
Scratchin' to stay alive
It's amazing, with the blink of an eye, you finally see the light
It's amazing, when the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright
Amazing, and I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight
You have to learn to crawl before you learn to walk
But I just couldn't listen to all that righteous talk, oh yeah
I was out on the street, just a tryin' to survive
Scratchin' to stay alive
It's amazing, with the blink of an eye, you finally see the light
It's amazing, when the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright
Yeah, it's amazing, and I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight
