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 Yeah, I thought I could leave, but couldn't get out the door I was so sick and tired Of livin' a lie I was wishin that I would die It's amazing With the blink of an eye you finally see the light Oh 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 That one last shot's a permanent vacation And how high can you fly with broken wings? Life is a journey not a destination And I just can't tell you 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 I was out on the street Just tryin' to survive Scratchin' to stay alive It's amazing With the blink of an eye you finally see the light Oh, it's amazing When the moment arrives you know you'll be alright It's amazing And I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight
