Amazing |

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 tought 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 a 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 (Chorus) (To all of you people out there) (Wherever you are - remember:) (The light at the end of the tunnel) (May be you - goodnight) |
