Wasted Life Lyrics
Seventh Day Slumber

Lyrics
Back in the saddle again, I feel alive
I was slowly fading
And all that I wanted to be but I never been
Was slowly dissipating
And I believe in miracles
You know I've seen them time and time again
Now this one's mine
A wasted life was the road that I was on
I was running blind into the unknown
Just in the nick of time You found me at my worst
And brought me home
The battle starts in your mind then straight to the soul
It can leave you breathless
If only you can leave it behind but it won't let you go
It seems the pages won't end
And I believe in miracles
You know I've seen them time and time again
Now this one's mine
A wasted life was the road that I was on
I was running blind into the unknown
Just in the nick of time You found me at my worst
And brought me home
When there was no way out
You found me in the darkest place
Just as I start to fade
I hear Your voice, it's calling me
Saying, "You are not alone
I'm here to break these chains and take you home"
A wasted life was the road that I was on
And I was running blind into the unknown
Just in the nick of time You found me at my worst
And brought me home
A wasted life was the road that I was on
And I was running blind into the unknown
Just in the nick of time You found me at my worst
And brought me home
