[Verse 1]
I kept the right ones out
And let the wrong ones in
Had an angel of mercy to see me through all my sins
There were times in my life
When I was goin' insane
Tryin' to walk through the pain
When I lost my grip, and I hit the floor
Yeah, I thought I could leave but couldn't get out the door
I was so sick and tired of livin' a lie
I was wishin that I would die
[Chorus]
It's amazing
With the blink of an eye you finally see the light
It's amazing
When the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright
It's amazing
And I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight
[Bridge]
That one last shot's a permanent vacation
And how high can you fly with broken wings?
Life's a journey, not a destination
And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings
[Verse 2]
You have to learn to crawl
Before you learn to walk
But I just couldn't listen to all that righteous talk, oh yeah
I was out on the street
Just tryin' to survive
Scratchin' to stay alive
[Chorus]
It's amazing
With the blink of an eye you finally see the light
It's amazing
When the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright
It's amazing
And I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight
Desperate hearts, desperate hearts....
[Solo]
[Outro: Spoken]
"So from all of us at Aerosmith to all of you out there, wherever you are, remember: the light at the end of the tunnel may be you. Good night."
Amazing was written by Richard Supa & Steven Tyler.
Amazing was produced by Bruce Fairbairn.
Co-writer Richie Supa told Fox the song’s genesis came from a Narcotics Anonymous meeting he attended:
I told Steven Tyler this woman stood up at a meeting and said: ‘I kept the right ones out and let the wrong ones in,’ and he said, ‘yeah, I had an angel of mercy to see me through all my sin,’
