Save A Life

Walking through all the desperate faces
 It's cold enough to see your breath
 Wrapped up and huddled together
 Tryin' not to catch death
 Steam comes up from the subway
 Ice falls down from the sky
 He takes pause at his own reflection
 In the window of the Five and Dime
 Just long enough
 To see right through his empty eyes
 Just long enough
 To see right through his own lies
 He said
 I wanna save a life tonight
 I'm not ready to die
 I think I saw the light tonight
 I heard a voice that sounded just like mine, sayin'
 "Boy, you're not gettin' any younger
 And you're living on borrowed time
 And you could save a life tonight
 Yeah, you could save a life tonight"
 Yeah, you could save a life tonight
 He caught a glimmer of a glimpse of heaven
 On Friday or the night before
 He saw the face of old Saint Peter
 Beckoning him through the door
 He said, "I'm not quite ready to die
 I haven't learned to love just yet
 I wanna give it another try
 Is there somebody else instead?"
 I'm not strong enough
 But you could give me the strength I need
 For just long enough
 For me to make the most of me
 I wanna save a life tonight
 I'm not ready to die
 I think I saw the light tonight
 I heard a voice that sounded just like mine, sayin'
 "Boy, you're not gettin' any younger
 And you're living on borrowed time
 And you could save a life tonight
 Yeah, you could save a life tonight", oh-oh
 Yeah, you could save a life tonight, oh-oh
 Yeah, you could save a life tonight, ooh-ooh
 (Yeah, you could save a life tonight)
 Ooh-ooh-ooh
 I was the Lazarus, you were the Christ
 Breathe into me, gave me new life
 The demons fled, angels of light
 Carried me through the night
 I was the Lazarus, you were the Christ
 Breathe into me, gave me new life
 I was the Lazarus you were the Christ
 You bring me back to life, ooh-ooh-ooh
 You bring me back to life
 I wanna save a life tonight
 I'm not ready to die
 I think I saw the light tonight
 I heard a voice that sounded just like mine, sayin'
 "Boy, you're not gettin' any younger
 And you're living on borrowed time
 And you could save a life tonight
 Yeah, you could save a life tonight"
 Yeah, you could save a life tonight
 Yeah, you could save a life tonight
 Yeah, you could save a life tonight
