Verse 1
Late night brakes lock
hear the tires squeal
Red light can't stop
so I spin the wheel
My world goes black before
I feel an angel lift me up
And I open bloodshot
eyes into fluorescent white
They flip the siren hit the lights
close the doors and I am gone

Verse 2
Now I lay here owing my
life to a stranger
And I realize that empty
words are not enough
I'm left here with
the question of just
What have I to show except
the promises I never kept?
I lie here shaking on this bed
under the weight of my regrets
Chorus 1
I hope that I will
never let you down
I know that this-- can be more
than just flashing
lights and sound

Verse 2
Look around and
you'll see that at
times it feels like
no one really cares
It gets me down
but I'm still
gonna try to do
what's right I know that
there's A difference between sleight
of hand and giving everything you have
There's a line drawn in the sand
I'm working up the will to cross it and
Chorus 2
I hope that I will
never let you down
I know that this can be more

Rhetoric can't raise the dead
I'm sick of always talking
when there's no change
Rhetoric can't raise the dead
I'm sick of empty words
let's lead and not follow
Verse 3
Late night brakes lock
hear the tires squeal
Red light can't stop
so I spin the wheel
My world goes black before I
feel an angel steal me from the
Greedy jaws of death and chance
and pull me in with steady hands
They've given me a second chance
the artist in the ambulance
Chorus 3
I hope that I will
never let you down
I know that this can be more
than just flashing
lights and sound
Can we pick you off the ground
--- (hold)
more than flashing lights and sound
