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
