I’ve looked into my future
To what I just can’t say
I’ve spent up all my life
To get to where I am today
Too old to start all over
Too young to call it quits
This time
I need a miracle
They say the answer’s money
You know I’ve made alot
It didn’t buy me piece of mind
It just paid for what I got
And all I got was troubles
And things that pass away
Oh this time ohhh
I need a miracle
I need a miracle
Oh I’ve been known to gamble
And I’ve been known to win
And if life was like a game of chance
I’d play the chips again
But all the things I think to say
You knew before
This time ohh
I need a miracle
I need a miracle
This time
