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 going insane
Trying to walk through the pain
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 and tired of living a lie
I was wishing that I Would die
*It's amazing
With the blink of an eye, you finally see the light
It's amazing
When the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright
It's amazing
And I'm saying a prayer for 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 a trying to survive
Scratching to stay alive
