Amazing

Yeah I know, seems I've started recycling tracks now.  I guess to some degree I have but mostly because we're reminded every day of a particular song that stuck for a particular reason.

"Amazing" by Aerosmith is just one of those that points out how a little clarity can make the world of difference and this really is a lightbulb moment - it's that fast.  It's always the journey that makes a destination that much more valuable, something about the challenge.  Take it a step at a time, after all, you have to walk before you can run and crawl before you walk.

So no matter the desperation, the moment will come when everything will just be alright.


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

And 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 n' tired
Of livin' a lie
I was wishing that I would die

It's amazing
With the blink of an eye
You finally see the light
Oh it's amazing
When the moment arrives
You know you'll be alright
Yeah it's amazing
And I'm saying a prayer
For the desperate hearts tonight

That one last shot's a Permanent Vacation
And a 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

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

It's amazing
With the blink of an eye
You finally see the light
Oh it's amazing
When the moment arrives
That you know you'll be alright
Oh it's amazing
And I'm saying a prayer
For the desperate hearts tonight

"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. Goodnight!"

It really is amazing that once you realise that it's the journey and not so much the destination, things become so much clearer.
