Desperate Times

You called my name, you knew my number

You told me everything was gonna be fine

You touched my hand, and took me away from this place

And I keep on thinking I m going out of my mind

Someone out there calling me

I don t know what I can t see

I dread to think what might be there

I m shaking now with so much fear

I know, I feel

I m living in desperate times

I looked to the ground, I couldn t believe my eyes

The town I m from was never that tough

The life I ve known is falling away from me

And all of my strength may not be enough

[Solo]



I held the world in the palm of my hand

And I threw it away like a petulant child


Now all is gone that I held true

Am I bound to lose you too?

The choking smoke obscures the sun

I see so clear what I ve become

I know, I feel

We re living in desperate times


Someone out there calling me

I don t know what I can t see

I dread to think what might be there

I m shaking now with so much fear

I know, I feel

I m living in desperate times

I know, I feel

I m living in desperate times
