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
  




And when I lost my grip
And I hit the floor 
Yeah, I tought I could leave 
But couldn't get out the door  
I was so sick n' tired
Of livin' a lie
I was wishing that I would die
  
It's amazing
With the blink of an eye
That you finally see the light 
It's amazing 
That when the moment arrives 
You know you'll be alright
It's amazing 
And I'm saying a prayer 
To the desperate hearts tonight















That one last shot's a Permanent Vacation 
And a 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  

 
To all of you people out there
Wherever you are - remember:
The light at the end of the tunnel
May be you - goodnight
