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 Written by: B.J.
