(Lyrics & Music by: Jon Bon Jovi)
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 going crazy
Just when it seems everything's gonna work itself out
They drive you right back down
And you said it ain't fair that a man walks
When 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 giving 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
(No I won't let you down)
The river of your hope is flooding
And I know the dam is busted
If you need me I'll come running
I won't let you down... no, no
You're looking for salvation
You thought that it'd be shining
Like an angel's light
Well the angels left this nation
And salvation caught the last train out tonight
He lost one 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 drawning 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 heartbeat is slowing down
Your feet are grounded still
You're reaching for the sky
You can let'em clip your wings
Cause I believe that you can flight
Well my eyes have seen the horror
Of the coming of the flood
I've driven deep thorny crown
Into the soul of someone's son
Still I'll look you in the eye
Cause I've believed in 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 heart's doing time
And your conscience is calling you out
It ain't all for nothing
Life ain't written in the sand
