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
