I kept the right ones out And let the wrong ones in Had an angel of mercy To see me through all my sin 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 I thought I could leave But I couldn't get out the door I was so sick and tired Of livin' a lie I was wishin' that I would die Its amazing With the blink of an eye I finally saw the light Its amazing That when the moment arrives You know you'll be alright Its amazing And I'm sayin' a prayer For the desperate hearts tonight That one last shots a permanent vacation And how high can you fly with broken wings Lifes 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 rightous talk I was out on the street Tryin'a survive Scratchen to stay alive Its amazing With the blink of an eye I finally saw the light Its amazing That when the moment arrives You know you'll be alright Its amazing And I'm sayin' a prayer For the desperate hearts tonight
