Lyrics
I kept the right ones out
Filtering out the right people from the wrong ones in life choices.
And let the wrong ones in
Allowing the entry of the wrong individuals into one's life.
Had an angel of mercy to see me through all my sins
Having guidance or support (angel of mercy) to navigate through personal mistakes or misdeeds.
There were times in my life
Reflecting on challenging periods in life.
When I was goin' insane
Experiencing moments of mental instability or distress.
Tryin' to walk through
Struggling to endure emotional pain.
The pain
Enduring emotional pain.
When I lost my grip
Losing control and reaching a low point.
And I hit the floor
Experiencing a significant setback or failure.
Yeah, I thought I could leave, but couldn't get out the door
Feeling trapped or unable to escape from a situation.
I was so sick and tired
Being exhausted and fed up with living a false or dishonest life.
Of livin' a lie
Wishing for an end to the deception.
I was wishin' that I would die
Expressing a deep desire for an escape from the difficulties.
It's amazing
Introduction of a positive shift or realization.
With the blink of an eye, you finally see the light
Realizing the truth or a solution suddenly.
It's amazing
Experiencing a moment of relief or reassurance.
When the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright
Recognizing that everything will be okay in a specific moment.
It's amazing
Reiterating the sense of amazement at the positive transformation.
And I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight
Sending positive thoughts or wishes for those facing challenges.
That one last shot's permanent vacation
Referring to a final opportunity for a significant change or improvement.
And how high can you fly with broken wings?
Questioning the limits of achievement when facing significant obstacles.
Life's a journey, not a destination
Expressing the idea that life is about the journey rather than reaching a fixed destination.
And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings
Uncertainty about what the future holds.
You have to learn to crawl
Highlighting the importance of learning and growing step by step.
Before you learn to walk
Emphasizing the necessity of acquiring basic skills before advancing.
But I just couldn't listen to all that righteous talk, oh yeah
Rejecting advice or moralizing speeches.
I was out on the street
Facing challenges while striving to survive.
Just a tryin' to survive
Describing a difficult period of life.
Scratchin' to stay alive
Fighting desperately to stay alive.
It's amazing
Repetition of the positive transformation experienced.
With the blink of an eye, you finally see the light
Reiteration of the sudden realization of the truth.
It's amazing
Reaffirmation of the assurance that everything will be alright.
When the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright
Emphasizing the positive moment of certainty.
Oh, it's amazing
Expressing awe at the miraculous change.
And I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight
Reiterating positive thoughts or prayers for those facing challenges.
Desperate hearts, desperate hearts
Repetition of the idea of desperate hearts, reinforcing empathy or concern for those in difficult situations.
