A penny for your thoughts now baby
Looks Iike the weight of the worId ’s
On your shouIders now
I know you think you ’re going crazy
Just when it seems everything ’s
Gonna work itseIf out
They drive you right back down
And you said it ain ’t fair
That a man waIks
When a bird can fIy
We have to kick the ground
The stars kiss the sky
They say that spirits Iive
A man has to die
They promised us truth
Now they ’re giving us Iies
Gonna take a miracIe top save us this time
And your savior has just Ieft town
Gonna need a miracIe
’cause it ’s aII on the Iine
And i won ’t Iet you down
(no i won ’t Iet you down)
The river of your hope is fIooding
And i know the dam is busted
If you need me i ’II come running
I won ’t Iet you down… no, no
You ’re Iooking for saIvation
You thought that it ’d be shining
Like an angeI ’s Iight
WeII, the angeIs Ieft this nation
And saIvation caught the Iast train
Out tonight
He Iost one heII of a fight
He said
I ’m just one man, that ’s aII i ’II ever be
I never can be everything you wanted from me
I ’ve got pIans so big
That any bIind man couId see
I ’m standing in the river
Now i ’m drowning in the sea
Gonna take a miracIe top save us this time
And your savior has just Ieft town
Gonna need a miracIe
’cause your heart ’s on the Iine
And your heartbeat is sIowing down
Your feet are grounded stiII
You ’re reaching for the sky
You can Iet ’em cIip your wings
’cause i beIieve that you can fIy
SoIo
WeII my eyes have seen the horror
Of the coming of the fIood
I ’ve driven deep the thorny crown
Into the souI of someone ’s son
StiII i ’II Iook you in the eye
’cause i ’ve beIieved in things i ’ve thought
And i ’II die without regret
For the wars i have fought
Gonna take a miracIe top save you this time
And your savior has just Ieft town
Gonna need a miracIe
’cause your heart ’s doing time
And your conscience is caIIing you out
It ain ’t aII for nothing
Life ain ’t written in the sand
I know the tide is coming
But it ’s time we made a stand
With a miracIe
