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
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 livin'a lie
i was wishin 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 sayin'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 tryin to survive
scratchin to stay alive
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 sayin'a prayer for
the desperate hearts tonight
desperate hearts desperate hearts
