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 of the door I was so sick and tired of living a lie I was wishing that I would die It's amazing, with a blink of an eye You finally see the light Oh, it's amazing, when the moment arrives That you know you'll be alright Yeah, it's amazing And I'm saying a prayer for the desperate hearts benighted That one last shot's 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 I just took While I was out on the street Just trying to survive Scratching to stay alive It's amazing, with a blink of an eye You finally see the light Oh, it's amazing, when the moment arrives That you know you'll be alright Oh, it's amazing And I'm saying a prayer for the desperate hearts benighted Desperate hearts, desperate hearts They live on a feeling I've forgiven I know, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready to, I'm ready to I'm ready I say I've never felt, I've never felt, never, never This is not the way, never I'm so dead, dead, dead, dead I'm not gonna forget it now, no, no, no This is not the way, no It's not the way, no Nothing is the way, no Nothing is the way
