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
Tryna 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
Oh, it’s amazing
When the moment arrives that you know you’ll be alright
Yeah, 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, yeah
You have to learn to crawl before you learn to walk
But I just couldn’t listen to all that righteous talk, oh yeah
Well, I was out on the street just tryin’ to survive
Scratchin’ to stay alive
It’s amazing
With the 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 sayin’ a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight
The desperate hearts, desperate hearts
So from all of us in Aerosmith to all of you out there
Wherever you are, remember
The light at the end of the tunnel may be you, goodnight
