I kept the right ones outAnd let the wrong ones inHad an angel of mercy to see me through all my sinsThere were times in my lifeWhen I was goin' insaneTryin' to walk throughThe pain
When I lost my gripAnd I hit the floorYeah, I thought I could leave, but couldn't get out the doorI was so sick and tiredOf livin' a lieI was wishin' that I would die
It's amazingWith the blink of an eye, you finally see the lightIt's amazingWhen the moment arrives that you know you'll be alrightIt's amazingAnd I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight
That one last shot's permanent vacationAnd how high can you fly with broken wings?Life's a journey, not a destinationAnd I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings
You have to learn to crawlBefore you learn to walkBut I just couldn't listen to all that righteous talk, oh yeahI was out on the streetJust a tryin' to surviveScratchin' to stay alive
It's amazingWith the blink of an eye, you finally see the lightIt's amazingWhen the moment arrives that you know you'll be alrightOh, it's amazingAnd I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight
Desperate hearts, desperate hearts
