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...

 ...When the moment arrives that you know you´ll be alright...
 ...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
 I was out on the street, just a tryin´ to survive,
 scratchin´ to stay alive...
