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
