A penny for your thoughts now baby
Looks like the weight of the world's
On your shoulders now
I know you think you're going crazy
Just when it seems everything's
Gonna work itself out
They drive you right back down
And you said it ain't fair
That a man walks
When a bird can fly
We have to kick the ground
The stars kiss the sky
They say that spirits live
A man has to die
They promised us truth
Now they're giving us lies
Gonna take a miracle
To save us this time
And your savior has just left town
Gonna need a miracle
'Cause it's all on the line
And I won't let you down
(No I won't let you down)
The river of your hope is flooding
And I know the dam is busted
If you need me I'll come running
I won't let you down no, no
You're looking for salvation
You thought that it'd be shining
Like an angel's light, yeah
Well, the angels left this nation
And salvation caught
The last train out tonight
He lost a hell of a fight
He said, "I'm just one man
That's all I'll ever be"
I never can be everything
You wanted from me
I've got big plans so big
That any blind man could see
I'm standing in the river
Now I'm drowning in the sea
Gonna take a miracle
To save us this time
And your savior has just left town
Gonna need a miracle
'Cause your heart's on the line
And your heartbeat is slowing down
(Heartbeat's slowing)
Your feet are grounded
Still you're reaching for the sky
You can let 'em clip your wings
'Cause I believe that you can fly
♪
Well my eyes have seen
The horror of the coming of the flood
I've driven deep the thorny crown
Into the soul of someone's son
Still I'll look you in the eye
'Cause I've believed in things I've thought
And I'll die without regret
For the wars I have fought
Gonna take a miracle
To save you this time
And your savior has just left town
Gonna need a miracle
'Cause your heart's doing time
And your conscience is calling you out
(Conscience's calling)
It ain't all for nothing
Life ain't written in the sand
I know the tide is coming
But it's time we made a stand
With a miracle
Gonna take a miracle
I need a miracle
I need a miracle
I need a miracle
Na, na, na, na miracle
