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 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, oh yeah
I was out on the street,
Just a 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
Oh, it`s amazing
And I`m sayin` a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight

Desperate hearts, desperate hearts
