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 

[Chorus:]
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, oh yeah 
I was out on the street, 
Just tryin' to survive 
Scratchin' to stay 
Alive 
[Chorus]

Desperate hearts, desperate hearts
