A penny for your thoughts now baby
looks like the weight of the world's
on your shoulders now
I know you think you're goin crazy
just when it seems everythings
gonna work itself out
they drive you right back down
And you say it ain't fair
that a man walks
whan a bird can fly
we have to kick the ground
the stars kiss the sky
they say that spirits live
a man has to die:
they promised us truth
now they're givin' us lies
Gonna take a miracle to save us this time
and your savior has just left town
gonna need a miracle
cause it's all on the line
and i won't let you down
The river of your hope is floodin'
and i know the dam is bustin
if you need me i'll come runnin
i won't let you down oh no--
You're lookin for salvation
and you thought that it'd be shinin'
like an angel's light
well the angels left this nation-- and salvation
caught the last train
out tonight
(we lost a hell of a fight)
He said
i'm just one man, that's all i'll ever be
i never can be everything you wanted from me
i've got big plans
(so big)
that any blind man could see--
i'm standing in the river
now i'm drownin in the sea
Gonna take a miracle
to save us this time
and your savior has just left town
gonna need a miracle
cause your heart's on the line
and your heartbeats slowin' down
Your feet are grounded still youre reachin for the sky
you can let 'em clip youre wings cause
i believe that you can fly..
(solo)
Well my eyes have seen the horror
of the coming of the flood
i've driven deep the thorny crown
into the soul of someone's son--
still i look you in the eyes
cause i believe the things i've thought
and i'll die without regret
for the wars that i have fought
Gonna take a miracle
to save you this time
and your savior has just left town
gonna need a miracle
cause your hearts doin' time
and your conscience is callin you out.....
(conscience callin..)
It ain't all for nothin
life aint written in the sand
i know the tide is comin'
and it's time we made a stand
with a miracle...
Gonna take a miracle..
i need a miracle..
na na na na a miracle
