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
And 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 n' tired Of livin' a lie I was wishing that I would die
[Chorus:] It's amazing With the blink of an eye You finally see the light, It's amazing That when the moment arrives You know you'll be alright, It's amazing And I'm saying a prayer To the desperate hearts tonight
That one last shot's A 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, I was out on the street Just tryin' to survive, Scratchin' to stay alive
