(At) the Last Minute

Walking around with my head held down
Like I’m looking for hope in my shoes
Expecting to see my obituary
At the top of the 5 o’clock news
I was mad, I was sad, I really felt bad
With no reason I could easily find
My wheels were off track, I could only look back
To see that I was wasting my time
Self-pity and sorrow, today and tomorrow
I can’t find a friend so this must be the end
But at the last minute my eyes were opened
At the last minute it all came right
I received more than my heart had hoped for
At the last minute I saw the light
In the city of light thre are mountains of hope
With a vally of peace in between
There’s a river of love running right through its heart
It felt like I was living a dream
Life without trouble, a day without end
Hope everlasting and a genuine friend
It may be hard to believe but I know that it’s right
It’s all there in the city of light
Self-pity and sorrow, confusion and doubt
Beginning to wonder if I’d ever break out
But at the last minute my eyes were opened
At the last minute it all came right
I received more than my heart had hoped for
At the last minute I saw…
