Hello sun.
Hello bird.
Hello my lady.
Hello breakfast. May I
Grace
She takes the blame
She covers the shame
Removes the stain
It could be her name
Grace
It's a name for a girl
It's also a thought that
Changed the world
And when she walks on the street
You can hear the strings
Grace finds goodness
In everything
Grace
She's got the walk
Not on a wrapper on chalk
She's got the time to talk
She travels outside
Of karma, karma
She travels outside
Of karma
When she goes to work
You can hear the strings
Grace finds beauty
In everything
Grace
She carries a world on her hips
No champagne flute for her lips
No twirls or skips
Between her fingertips
She carries a pearl
In perfect condition
What once was hers
What once was friction
What left a mark
No longer stains
Because grace makes beauty
Out of ugly things
Grace finds beauty
In everything
Grace finds goodness
Sometimes I feel like I am
Sailing on a sunken dream
I try to read the signs
But I don't know what they mean
I know when I'm with you
I'm a rich man baby
Grace, I'm not yet born
Come embrace
A soul that's torn
I have got so much to give you
My heart is starved of love
In these radio days
I try to listen hard
To what my conscience says
I know I've sold my soul
I'm going to earn it back now
Grace, I'm not yet born
Come embrace
A soul that's torn
I have got so much to give you
Now that you believe in me
We can fly away
Somewhere safe
I know that you will always be
Giving more than you take
I know when I'm with you
I'm a rich man baby
Grace, I'm not yet born
Come embrace
A soul that's torn
Grace, it can mend if you make my heart your friend
Grace
Grace
Grace
I was lost when You found me here
You pulled me close and held me near
And I'm a fool but still You love
I'll be Your fool for the king of love
He gave me wings so I could fly
And gave me a song to color the sky
And all I have is all from You
And all I want is all of You
It's grace, grace
I'm nothing without You
Grace, Your grace
Shines on me
And there've been days when I've walked away
Too much to carry, nothing left to say
Forgive me Lord when I'm weak and lost
You traded heaven for a wooden cross
And all these years You've carried me
You've been my eyes when I could not see
And beauty grows in the driving rain
Your ode of gladness in the times of pain
It's grace, grace
I'm nothing without You
Grace, Your grace
Shines on me
You're grace, Your grace
I'm nothing without You
Grace, Your grace
Shines on me, oh yeah
Shines on me, shines on me
I'm everything with you
Shines on me, shines on me
It's Your grace
Shines on me, Your grace, oh
Your grace it shines on me
Your grace, Your grace
Shines on me, shines on me
Your grace it shines on me
As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham Gaol,
I think about these past few weeks, oh, will they say
we've failed?
From our school days, they have told us we must yearn
for liberty,
Yet, all I want in this dark place is to have you here
with me.
Oh, Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this
moment linger,
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die.
With all my love, I place this wedding ring upon your
finger,
There won't be time to share our love for we must say
good-bye.
Now, I know it's hard for you, my love, to ever
understand,
The love I bear for these brave men, my love for this
dear land,
But when Pádhraic called me to his side down in the
G.P.O.,
I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go.
Oh, Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this
moment linger,
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die.
With all my love, I place this wedding ring upon your
finger,
There won't be time to share our love for we must say
good-bye.
Now, as the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking,
too,
On this May morn, as I walk out, my thoughts will be of
you,
And I'll write some words upon the wall so everyone
will know,
I love so much that I could see his blood upon the
rose.
Oh, Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this
moment linger,
They'll take me out at dawn now I must die.
With all my love, I place this wedding ring upon your
finger,
There won't be time to share our love for we must say
Lookin' in the papers makes me sorry to be human
A little ray of hope won't hurt at all
A price on every head and it's cheaper when you're dead
The quality of life may have to fall
Muffled voices, world in action
Stir the peaceful, need for longing
I, I cannot describe the fear inside my heart
I, hereby do swear to live my life in accordance with grace
Guess, it's human nature to be cruel and to be heartless
That's no excuse to shoot him when he's down
Crawl in on your knees and then bite the hand that feeds
The cages throw their shadows 'cross the ground
Where's the sense in senseless violence?
Hear the silence too forgiving
I cannot describe the fear inside my heart
I, hereby do swear to live my life in accordance with grace
Praise, praise
Press your hands in to the pavement
Bathed in glory, here's your moment
I cannot describe the fear inside my heart
I cannot describe the fear inside my heart
I, hereby do swear to live my life in accordance with grace
instrumental
God, I admit I haven't changed
Playing card houses still covering my landscape
I never expected You to stay
When I'm grabbing for these crumbs and cold loose change
I feel Your grace come running over every road
I love the way You're calling overflow
I feel Your grace come running over every road
You break the floodgates down and carry all
God, I admit that I've loved these chains
And crawling around this cage sometimes has its advantages
I know someday this could get old
Locked in a kiss, outsiders cease to exist
We'll shut it out (of the fist)
Outsiders cease to exist
We'll shut it out
Eight o'clock, the lights are on at Shea
Phone turned down, we've nothing much to say
Dozing off the TV drones
House key makes them turn and glance for home
Locked in a kiss, outsiders cease to exist
Flayed of the fist
Outsiders cease to exist
Once you were an angel
Jesse honey is it hard to take
Does it feel so bad to be 28 you were 23
And you could do anything now you open your mouth
And spit the gutter out
I was walking down by the river thames
I decided that I should throw me in
Because you broke my heart and you made me weep
In the name of your sensitivity
Still once you were an angel
Did nobody tell you jesse honey oh you look so pale
And old and so very I'll at ease these days
So you tell yourself that you'll never win
And you drown your sins in amphetamine
Do you weary so of that bitter taste
So you spit in my face just to keep you entertained
Still I can only love you I have no option but to
Is hard to take is it is it hard to swallow
Is it is it hard to take from grace
Once you were an angel
Did nobody tell you jesse honey is it hard to take
Does it feel so bad to be 28 you were 23
And you could do anything
Now you open your mouth and you spit the gutter out
Out in the summer rain
You will begin again
Out in the summer rain
Screamin' at the newsman Tellin' him to take it back I'll sue him if he won't retract Cryin' to the hangman Beggin' him to render slack If I could I would go back
Will you extend me Will you extend me grace? Just a little grace Will you extend me Will you extend me grace? Just a little grace
Were you talkin' to the shrubbery? Did you cut the roses down? Someone oughta till that ground You thought I had a pure heart, well I thought you were an angel, girl Mercy is the silver pearl
Will you extend me Will you extend me grace? Just a little grace...
My mother deems me ever dear I'm less a liar than sincere
When you cut me in the alley-way You don't have to turn that knife I'll suffer in the afterlife Prayin' to the Father Sorry, did I grieve the Ghost? You're the one I love the most
Will you extend me Will you extend me grace? Just a little grace...
Well we jumped all night
On your trampoline
When you kissed the sky
Made your sister scream
You ate our chips
And you drank our Coke
Then you showed me Mars
Through your telescope
Oh Grace
Save your money for the children
Oh Grace
Save your money for the children
Oh Grace
Save your money for the children
Oh Grace
Save your money for the children
Oh Grace
Save your money for the children
Oh Grace
Save your money, save your money girl
Well you sang your songs
And you made us laugh
So we captured you
In a photograph
And when the stars came out
Your Momma called your name
When the morning comes
We'll get together again
Oh Grace
Save your money for the children
Oh Grace
Save your money for the children
Oh Grace
Save your money for the children
Oh Grace
Save your money for the children
Oh Grace
Save your money for the children
Oh Grace
Save your money, save your money girl
Save your money
Save your money for the
Save your money for the children
Save your money for the children
(One more time)
Oh Grace
Save your money for the children
Oh Grace
Cold are the bones of thy soldiers
Longing for home, their little paradise
I don't feel redemption on their side
Fallen from grace, help me rise again
Fallen from grace, help me through
Fallen from grace, help me through
Fallen from grace
Feel these hands, the pressure,
the cold, tremble
Do you hear these words
Do you feel the wounds
I'll never help you through
Cold are thy souls
I feel the resentment
They feel betraid
They hate the cold
There's the moon asking to stay
Long enough for the clouds to fly me away
Oh, it's my time coming, I'm not afraid, afraid to die
My fading voice sings of love
But she cries to the clicking of time
Of time
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Fire
And she weeps on my arm
Walking to the bright lights in sorrow
Oh drink a bit of wine we both might go tomorrow
Oh my love
And the rain is falling and I believe
My time has come
It reminds me of the pain I might leave
Leave behind
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Fire
It reminds me of the pain I might leave
Leave behind
And I feel them drown my name
So easy to know and forget with this kiss
I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow, ohh
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wa-wa-wait in the fire
Light up the darkness
I'm violently in love
The waitress smiles
The music's too loud
My body hurts
Light up the dark
Light up the dark
I'm violently in love
The music's loud
The music's loud
The music's too loud
My body hurts
My body hurts
You leave the room
And just for a second,
The silence is like a blessing
Lovers kiss
Lovers whisper
Beaming and grinning
In the underground
In the underground
This is not what I expected
Light up the dark
Light up the dark
I'm violently in love
The music's loud
The music's loud
My body hurts
You leave the room
You leave the room
And just for a second
The silence is, the silence is like a blessing
The rhythm between us
Trembles
Snatching circles
Alone with you
The heat comes from your eyes
And the soft voice
Falls
Out the sky
Warm skin
Close your eyes
Eyes behind glass
More skin
Close your eyes
And the sky turns red
And the rails slip beneath us
Feeling so strange I'm seeing you clearly now
Your beauty's deadlier everyday
All these people am I the only one
Who found you out
Is no one willing to say, willing to say, willing to say
Why don't you slow down
Turn your head round
Been treading on hearts
That are giving in with a little
Grace - you're getting away with it
Words - but nothing to say with it
You smile and take what you need in any way that you please
Isn't it a shame
You've nothing to show from these
Lies - I told you you'd pay for it
Lonely are the days of your life
You spoke in rhymes and rhythms
The sweetest sounds
They drew me in like a moth to a flame
Oh, all these people you hurt along the way
Will haunt you now
¡®Cos things are going to change, going to change, going to change
Why don't you slow down
Turn your head around
Been treading on hearts
That are giving in with a little
Grace - you're getting away with it
Words - but nothing to say with it
You smile and take what you need in any way that you please
Isn't it a shame
You've nothing to show from these
Lies - I told you you'd pay for it
Lonely are the days of your life
You're beginning to lose
Things are fading in front of your eyes
You've a long way to fall
Before you even realise
That this loneliness hurts
Lonely will be the days of your life
Grace - you're getting away with it
Words and nothing to say with it
You blame but you're not ashamed of it
Hurt - you don't feel the pain of it
Lie - straight in the face of it
Your mind - you should be afraid of it
Your grace - you're getting away with it
Nothing to get in my way
With a little grace - you're getting away with it
Words and nothing to say with it
Lonely are the days of your life
Lonely are the days
You lie - straight in the face of it
Your mind, your mind - you should be afraid
Broken, broken in will
Your past is leaving, disappearing misery saves
Choking, pain is a thrill, rage is instilled
Compassion's a cage
Forgiving the father
Read the story of my skin
I'll be the martyr
Falling from his grace again
Stronger, sooner or later we crawl our way back
Into our favorite hole
Troubles swallow the savior
A violent way to his highest goal
Forgiving the father
Read the story of my skin
Tell me more about the man I should have been
I'll be the martyr
Falling from his grace again
Falling from his grace again
This is where the end begins
The end begins
Falling from his grace again
Falling from his grace again
Can't say I have ever been faithful
Except to God
Never felt I could call anywhere home
Till I fell asleep here in your arms
I never thought I'd fall in love
Your love is my only saving grace
You caress my heart
Kiss my face
Your love is my only saving grace
Sometimes God calls out to me to come home
'Cause I feel so alone
Then I taste your kiss
Your touch your sweet love
I never thought I'd fall in love
Your love is my only saving grace
You caress my heart
Kiss my face
Your love is my only saving grace
I never thought I'd fall in love
I never thought I'd fall in love with you
Your love is my only saving grace
You caress my heart
Kiss my face
Please don't go
I cannot breathe you in
Your air is too thick for me
And it makes my lungs sting
Please don't go
I cannot walk beside
Think I'll stay behind a mile
'Cause I don't need you crampin' my style
And do you still have grace
And mercy, mercy
To keep on kissin' my face
Even though I am wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
Please don't go
Without you I am weak
I find myself drinkin' and sinkin' and seekin'
Please don't go
Sometimes it gets so cold
That I'd rather grab for a blanket instead
Of getting into your comfort zone
Do you still have grace
And mercy, sweet mercy
To keep on kissin' my face
Even though I am wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
Ooh ... Oooh ...
Oh oh oh ...
Oh ...
I know I've wronged you
I know I've hurt you so many times
I hope I haven't scarred you
You still have grace
And you still have this mercy
To keep on kissin' my face
Even though I am wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
You still have grace
And mercy, mercy
To keep kissin' my face
Even though I am wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
If you keep kissin' my face
[a phrase - spoken]
If I was the lone ranger
Hiding behind a mask
Wouldn't be any danger
To the questions I ask
What ya say pocahontas
Trade in your feathers and beads
For an electric blanket
And a packet of cigs
You bet
That's what she said
If I had me a needle
For every bubble that popped
Bind them all up like one
You would hear that pin drop
Like a gun shot
Like a shot
And if I was a world leader
Would not mislead the world
I would not miss anything
Miss america knows
That it's only a pageant
That it's only a show
Isn't even film in the camera
These aren't even my clothes
No no no no
Miss america knows
Ah ooh ooh
You remember houdini
Who not a shackle could hold
Carved a trap door into heaven
To escape growin' old
Guess he just couldn't hack it
Bundled up for the cold
Double-breasted straightjacket
French handcuffs of gold
No no no no
He escaped growin' old
The growing old
Can't say I have ever been faithful
Except to God
Never felt I could call anywhere home
Till I fell asleep here in your arms
I never thought I'd fall in love
Your love is my only saving grace
You caress my heart
Kiss my face
Your love is my only saving grace
Sometimes God calls out to me to come home
'Cause I feel so alone
Then I taste your kiss
Your touch your sweet love
I never thought I'd fall in love
Your love is my only saving grace
You caress my heart
Kiss my face
Your love is my only saving grace
I never thought I'd fall in love
I never thought I'd fall in love with you
Your love is my only saving grace
You caress my heart
Kiss my face
Your love is my only saving grace your love.
Her grace, her love I adore
For her I do no wrong
Her wings I thought I saw
She's so strong
With you forever let me stay
I won't break your heart don't be afraid
The two of us in my dream
You're my star
This place we'll never leave
We're in love
With you forever let me stay
I won't break your heart don't be afraid
With you forever let me stay
Grace, she takes the blame
She covers the shame
Removes the stain
It could be her name
Grace...
It's a name for a girl
It's also a thought that, changed the world
And when she walks on the street
You can hear the strings
Grace finds goodness in everything
Grace, she's got the walk
Not on a ramp or on chalk
She's got the time to talk
She travels outside of karma, karma
She travels outside... of karma
When she goes to work, you can hear the strings
Grace finds beauty in everything
Grace...
She carries a world on her hips
No champagne flute for her lips
No twirls or skips between her fingertips
She carries a pearl in perfect condition
What once was hurt
What once was friction
What left a mark
No longer stings...
Because Grace makes beauty
Out of ugly things
I think I met you on the seventeenth floor
When I stood on Margot's window sill
Or maybe it was in the Crimean war
When I lost my middle finger
I really don't love you
It just looks that way
Radio lover meets serial killer
He says it's inevitable
She says call me Grace
I think I met you on the mental ward
You watched me juggle my life
Or maybe it was in some naphthalene story
Roman candles and wine
I think I met you on death row
Somewhere in Louisiana
Or maybe it was at Heathrow
You were flying to Cancun
I think I met you at Graceland National
I was the one torching the bike
Or maybe it was at the abattoir
Will you come down off there?
It's a heavenly height
For someone so fragile and haunted at night
And I cannot save you
Try as I might
I'm wasting myself but I want to take flight
Oh kid, if I could, I would try
So they gave you the Bible
But the good book just lied
'Cause nobody said life would be such a trial
And now there are tears in your eyes
It's a long way down
Don't look down, don't look down
And it's hard holding on
But grace will come, so kid hold on
'Cause I just want to love you
I just want to try
'Cause life is so short and we're both gonna die
So put your head on my shoulder
Lift your eyes to the sky
You're my blood and my baby and we're gonna fly
As long as we're here we must try
It's a long way down
Don't look down, don't look down
And it's hard holding on
But grace will come, so kid hold on
I just want to love you
I just want to try
'Cause life is so short and we're both gonna die
Sometimes I feel like I amSailing on a sunken dreamI try to read the signs
But I don't know what they meanI know when I'm with youI'm a rich man baby
Grace, I'm not yet bornCome embraceA soul that's torn
I have got so much to give you
My heart is starved of loveIn these radio daysI try to listen hard

Grace, it can mend if you make my heart your friend
Hey Grace, you're beautiful
Your face so meaningful
I embrace the thought of you
Hey Grace, I lost you
Hey Grace, I lost you
I'm sure we've met before
In a dream, down by the shore
Where thoughts were readable
Hey Grace, I lost you
Hey Grace, I lost you
So how will I find all the pieces you left behind?
And how will I find all the traces you left behind?
Hey Grace, you're beautiful
Your face so meaningful
I will chase the dream of you
Hey Grace, I lost you
Hey Grace, I lost you
So how will I find all the pieces you left behind?
And how will I find all the traces you left behind?
Hey Grace
Hey Grace
Hey Grace
One, two, three, four.
Cold rain to splash water diamonds colored green and
Flash the sun to paint green her hair.
Cold rain to splash water diamonds colored green and
Flash the sun to paint green her hair.
Your silver streak flash
Your silver streak flash

Across the tiny door of my eye
Across the tiny door of my eye.
Warm wind to touch the trees colored blue and
Flash the moon to paint blue my heart.
Warm wind to touch the trees colored blue and
Flash the moon to paint blue my heart.

Soft skin to spend the every day colored gold and

I love you
I love you
i'm big, and small
it hurts to crawl
this velvet aisle again
and their eyes feast
on my deceased
they hold the cherry of my pit
come please and fel my deceased
i know you walk aside your child
and her eyes closed, soul rose
earth will patch the cracks within
i dig a hole for all my sins
big, small
a pain inside you all
will touch your spine when i give in
and grace falls
13 years to tall
i once walked aside my child
Every time you touch my face
Every time you touch my face
I feel your soul's amazing grace
Every time
Every time you touch my face
I'll try to love you tenderly
I'll try to love you tenderly
Loving you comes easily
I'll try to love
I try to love you tenderly
Take my hand and don't look back
Take my hand and don't look back
We'll take a ride on the railroad track
Take my hand
Take my hand and don't look back
We'll sing a song to the cities beat
Where the white sheets hang above the dusty streets
The songs we sing sound so sweet
We'll sing a song to the city's beat
I can tell that you need your sleep
I can tell that you need your sleep
We've been running round these lonley street
I can tell
I can tell that you need your sleep
How much time do you think we got
How much time do you think we got
We had a little now we hope for lots
Tell me
How much time do you think we got
Lets raise a glass to the ones we love
Raise a glass to the ones we love
And spare a thought for the ones above
Raise a glass
Raise a glass to the ones we love
Lets raise a glass to the ones we love
Raise a glass to the ones we love
And spare a thought for the ones above
Raise a glass
Heaven knows I’ve done wrong; mercy helped me see I’ve been living a lie.
And while writing this song, thinking ‘bout Your goodness I started to cry.
Yes, oh oh oh grace; what would I do without grace (do without grace)
Hide behind a painted smile; you lash out and sing while you’re spiritually down, yeah
There’s no need to sit in denial; He knows all about it and understands why (yes He does)
Oh oh oh grace (oh grace oh grace); what would I do without grace
Oh oh oh grace; where would I be, where would I be without grace
How can you love me still when I’ve done wrong (grace)
And how can I make it through this angry storm (oh grace)
Say oh oh oh grace; what would I do without Your grace
Oh oh oh grace; where would I be without grace (where would I be without grace)
What can make me whole in my soul (grace grace)
What can wash my sin (grace)
Say grace; what would I do without Your grace (couldn’t make it)
Tell you what lately I’ve learned; He picks me up whenever I’m down
(Have you ever been down? I’ve been down.)
Nothin’ I’ve done or can do can take away this love, this love that I’ve found
Oh oh oh grace (grace); what would I do, what would I do without grace
Oh oh oh grace; where would I be without grace
Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I’m found, I was blind but now I see
That’s why we say amazing; that’s why we sing amazing grace (I can’t move without it)
forget the matches that they sold to you
they were used
stick with your golden hue
now I’m glowing too
hoping having a hold on you doesn’t mean I grow dependent
Grace was just hoping for heaven
you can say anything you want to me
they’ll use words you’ve never heard
it makes you unsure
Grace got caught in the melting pot but fights it like a
dream
in all the lying and the screams, she stays quiet and
serene
the adult life’s a bonfire burning
you’ve got to keep a couple feet away to keep from
hurting
wasn’t at first but she’s learning
well you can say anything you want to me
they’ll use words you’ve never heard
it makes you unsure
we’ll let old homes, old bones, all down
we’ll let old homes, old bones, all down
we’ll let old homes, old bones, all down
let em all down
Your head is a temple, I walk with the lamb
At your fountain I wash the blood from my hands
I pray deep inside you, where no one can see
Except for the spirit that binds you and me
If there's a reason that I'm quiet when I'm with you
It's because I feel at ease
I wouldn't want to spoil this moment by just talking
When my soul has been released
You bring me grace
You bring me grace
Your heart is an altar , I kneel in disgrace
Awaiting redemption, my sin on my face
When I am weak, I feast on your love
For there's on one below you and no-one above
If there's a moment that I have to be without you
I know you will wait for me
To take a second and remember that I love you
And that we will always be
You bring me grace
You bring me grace
If I am weak, I will be blessed
If I am tempted, I will confess
Your love is a sacrifice, for I am the blade
By your little death are both of us saved
You bring me grace
You bring me grace
Into the heart of me, to every part of me
You make an art of me
You bring me grace
You bring me grace
Into the heart of me, to every part of me
Oh, can you hear
Hear mercy sing
She cries to bitter hearts
And your suffering
Oh, please let go
Give up your fight
Holding back your love
Will never make things right, no
It's gonna be okay
Okay, tonight
Grace, only grace
Can roll your dead heart's stone away
Grace, only grace
Can move us to a rhythm that will change our ways
Oh, listen to love
Let pride hit the ground
When joy is the armor
It can't be broken down
If hate is the ?
No one will win
When we love to ?
That's where life begins
Grace, only grace
Can roll your dead heart's stone away
Grace, only grace
Can move us to a rhythm that will change our ways
Grace, grace
Come and move me
Oh come and move me now
Grace, recreate me
Oh, from the inside out
Grace, only grace
Can roll your dead heart's stone away
Grace, only grace
Can move us to a rhythm that will change our ways
Grace, only grace
Can roll your dead heart's stone away
Grace, only grace
The sky is grey and the light is far
The sea is a rage within my heart
I turn my sight to the crashing waves
I cry in the night just to be saved
Cause I need eyes to be my guide
I need a voice that's louder than mine
I need hope and I need You
Cause I can't do this alone
Grace I call Your name
Oh won't Your smile fall over me
I'm cracked and dry on hands and knees
Oh sweet grace rain down on me I need You grace
I pray for dawn a new day to live
I pray for mercy only Jesus gives
Though darkness falls and a million cry
I don't wanna see, I don't wanna see anything
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be lost again
I don't wanna walk, I don't wanna walk far from You
I just wanna live, I just wanna live like You do
As I stumble to the light of grace
You said You'd always have a place for me
Got a little scared, got a little scared in the woods
And everywhere I turn, everywhere I turn nothing's good
Then I saw a little light, saw a little light shine for me
And I found a little path, found a little path at my feet
As I fumble with the gift of my free will
He says hush now, listen to my voice, be still
My refuge, my Father
The only Living Water
I'm weary, I'm broken
I've cracked my heart wide open
Unholy, unworthy
And still You reassure me
You knew me
Before I new myself

Bobby's lyin' round like the wakin' dead
He's got a big black cloud hangin' over his head
I want to get him up, get him out the door
I'd like to get him drunk, but he don't drink no more
He says, ";Oh, buddy, I really thought she was the one
Tell me what happened, 'cause we were havin' so much fun.";
Some of us will live in love, and some will watch love die
There but for the grace of you, go I
Girl but for the grace of you, go I
Teddy married Betty, when they were still in school
And he never was her first choice, she never was his fool
50 years together, that was somethin' less than bliss
Rarely did they tell the truth and rarely did they kiss
Pass the fish sticks, and tell me what you did today
And the clock ticks, they're runnin' out of things to say
I've seen ashes in the wind, and I've never seen him cry
There but for the grace of you, go I
Girl but for the grace of you, go I
Off we go in a cloud of dust, let the chips fall where they must
Girl you turned my life around, in the time it takes a heart to pound
Some of us will live in love, and some will watch love die
There but for the grace of you, go I
Girl but for the grace of you, go I
As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham Jail
I think about these past few weeks, oh will they say
we've failed?
From our school days they have told us we must yearn
for liberty
Yet all I want in this dark place is to have you here
with me
Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment
linger
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your
finger
There won't be time to share our love for we must say
goodbye
Now I know it's hard for you my love to ever understand
The love I bare for these brave men, the love for my
dear land
But when Pádraic called me to his side down in the GPO
I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go
Oh, Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment
linger
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love I'll place this wedding ring upon your
finger
There won't be time to share our love for we must say
goodbye
Now as the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking too
On this May morn as I walk out, my thoughts will be of
And I'll write some words upon the wall so everyone
will know
I loved so much that I could see his blood upon the
rose.
Oh, Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment
linger
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love I'll place this wedding ring upon your
finger
There won't be time to share our love for we must say
goodbye
I know it's not your time yet but I see you coming over the hill,
Blaming everything on me is that
the way you get your kicks and your thrills,
You should spare a little time for your mind and then your body and soul.
You act a little crazy but I know you've got it under control,
And this is me trying to be kind I want you to know,
This whole banging on the roof and stamping on the floors getting old.
Lets come to an agreement there's no need to get the police involved,
A minor little headache can be cured by a little resolve,
And this is me trying to be kind, I want you to know,
You seem to pardon all my favors now,
Sometimes!
I'm a sober boy and you're a lonely girl,
So lets give it up and stay out of each other's worlds
Is there any need in bringing in the butchers for a bit of a scare
I've had so many hidings in this city that they've stopped being rare,
This is me trying to be kind I want you to know,
You seem to pardon all my favors now
Sometimes!
I'm a sober boy and you're a lonely girl,
So lets give it up and stay out of each other's worlds
I'm a sober boy and you're a lonely girl,
So lets give it up and stay out of each other's worlds
Lets make our peace, stand in one line,
There's the moon asking to stay
Long enough for the clouds to fly me away
Well it's my time coming, i'm not afraid to die
My fading voice sings of love,
But she cries to the clicking of time
Oh, time
Wait in the fire...
And she weeps on my arm
Walking to the bright lights in sorrow
Oh drink a bit of wine we both might go tomorrow
Oh my love
And the rain is falling and i believe
My time has come
It reminds me of the pain
I might leave
Leave behind
Wait in the fire...
And i feel them drown my name
So easy to know and forget with this kiss
Shaking my teeth loose on your table
The dullest white squares I'll never be
Now that you've picked each one apart you can't look at me
I'll probably lose you now
But at least the ones I have still sparkle
Putting on your makeup everyday before he wakes up
So he could stomach your face now easier than he could without
Yeah this is love
This is all that you could want
Open equals heavier
Hold your hand out palm side up
Open, empty, light enough
Minutes all turn to months
This is one thing we have all learned
Equations always make up a sum
But it doesn't add up
Signing up for that second semester
Because you won't marry me without the degree
Once I fix things up right you wont be so embarrassed of me
But I'll never make it now
But at least looking in the mirror wont feel like lying
Posing for your still visions
Acedemic postcard prisons
Raise your chin, love
Purged a poem I swore was finished
Heaping lines half chewed unconscious
Settle on a plot, chalk another loss
Stage set for
Breathing and choking on swallowed conversations
Clutching and crawling for constant validation
Still nailed in the ruins of corporate co-dependence
Still stuck on the thought that you're the one exception
All the while the same
I'm worried that the purpose is
How I look, not how I lived
Let's get dolled up and play pretend
Cause nothing stays honest when
Every thought is cursed with intent
A pulse covered in skin and words covered in lips
The taste of regret as it leaves your stomach
Coating your tongue with every noun
Watery eyes the only thing that makes sense now
Spitting your insides out
Start over
Start over
Start over
Start over
There's a place on the planet
Where I can lean, where I can rest
It's in your arms, on your chest
I am out of balance, in a state of Grace...
State of Grace...
I am scared of taking too much space
For us it was always the case
I am on the way to find my place
Here and now in a taste of Grace...
Taste of Grace...
I hear a sound I hear the bass
Like a fist in my face
I am a new born out of the nest
I was touched by Grace...
Touched by Grace...
I hear the bass, I hear the bass
In my face, in my face
Baby comes one time and in his touch
I feel a grace that only he can bring
And with his kiss, I feel a grace
That only he can bring, only he can bring
Baby comes two times and with his touch
I feel warmth and peace that wholeness brings
And with his kiss, deliciousness
And peace that wholeness brings
That only he can bring
And it feels like butter, runnin' over me
Butter, and I'm won over, yeah
Butter, runnin' over me
Butter, butter, that only he can bring
Baby comes three times and with his touch
The electrifying spark is he and me
And with his kiss, a quiet bliss
That only he can bring, only he can bring
And if I taste his grace, his gift
That he gives only to me
Then I can taste desire, delicious fire
That only he can bring, only he can bring
And it tastes like
Butter, runnin' over me
Butter, and I'm won over, yeah
Butter, runnin' over me
Butter, butter, that only he can bring
In the quiet, warm, and fragrant dark
The electrifying spark is he and me
(Grace, grace)
Reaching out, looking for some way to escape the crowd
You whispered words that I've been searching for
Somehow you answered my call
Reaching out I feel I'm rising up
You give me (grace)
In a world that doesn't sleep at all
You give me (grace)
It's a place I've never been before
You give me (grace)
And in all of the confusion you're the peace in my soul
That's why I will never really be alone
Suddenly, I'm up on the surface now where I can see
And picture the person who I need to be
And I know, yes I know I can make it
See me now, I'm slowly rising up
Well yeah, these are difficult times
These are difficult days
But I know we can face it
Ours are difficult lives
In a difficult place
Oh you give me grace to say when I got it wrong
The grace that wills me to carry on
And we ask what has she done
As if that could make it ok
It's amazing what comfort we find in distance
Put yourself in her place
CHORUS:
We all need forgiveness
We all need a second chance
We all need to be giv'n grace
Well, Deacon's got it all figured out
At least that's the way it seems
And he proudly wears his victories around on his sleeve
He's the first to point his finger
When others don't measure up
God forbid he ever has to drink
From his bitter cup
BRIDGE:
I've messed up so many times It's my past that I'm
haunted by
If I'm ever going to truly live
Grace I must accept, grace I must give
Grace I must give
CHORUS:
We all need forgiveness
We all need just one more chance
We all need to be giv'n grace
Yeah, are you giv'n
Forgiveness
We all need just one more chance
We all need to be giv'n grace
Yeah, are you giv'n grace
Are you receivi'n grace
Are you giv'n grace
I'm on my knees
Only memories
Are left for me to hold
Don't know how
But I'll get by
Slowly pull myself together
There's no escape
So keep me safe
This feels so unreal
Nothing comes easily
Fill this empty space
Nothing is like it seems
Turn my grief to grace
I feel the cold
Loneliness unfold
Like from another world
Come what may
I won't fade away
But I know I might change
Nothing comes easily
Fill this empty space
Nothing is like it was
Turn my grief to grace
Nothing comes easily
Where do I begin?
Nothing can bring me peace
I've lost everything
Instrumental
Little child, did you throw the dice again?
Black and blue paint on your wall
Hey, didn't mama tell you that she loves you so?
Even if her bones are dry to hear you sing and cry.
Attempting to please the world at the age of 17
You kill your babies and call it "offering"
The stench of truth: the life for a life to be kind as to be unkind
Refrain:
It took six sweet years of your life
You walked alone along with your tea cold colored mind
Subtly you pay the curse upon you
But the promise of a man seeps through earth and grave and stone
Chorus:
You will seek him with all your heart and soul and strength
You count all the cost as you walk out the door
Without a warning
You set the world on fire!
You're never appearing not to
Emerging through unscathed
Your little god you're cauterized by sin
Comfortable and seem to gain a place of fatherless
Refrain
The yellow leaves fly with the wind
Covering the graves below the willow
The old man stands in the doorway
Wiping his eyes with soiled sleeve
He kneels at the foot of the graves
And touches the time-worn epitaph
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they shall see God
The grief of loss claws at his bleak soul
The wind carries the first freezing rain
With the rain appears a light
The bright ray of the cold autumn day
It illuminates the cliffs beyond the field
And casts vast shades upon the soaked grass
The man recoils from his distant thoughts
The rain flows along his furrowed cheeks
He stares at the warmth of caressing light
And weeps the unseen tears with the rain
He touches the grass with the palm of his hand
And lets the wind sway him towards the past
He follows the path of forgotten oblivion
Shaking my teeth loose on your table
The dullest white squares I'll never be
Now that you've picked each one apart you can't look at me
I'll probably lose you now
But at least the ones I have still sparkle
Putting on your makeup everyday before he wakes up
So he could stomach your face now easier than he could without
Yeah this is love
This is all that you could want
Open equals heavier
Hold your hand out palm side up
Open, empty, light enough
Minutes all turn to months
This is one thing we have all learned
Equations always make up a sum

But I'll never make it now
But at least looking in the mirror wont feel like lying
Posing for your still visions
Acedemic postcard prisons
Raise your chin, love
Purged a poem I swore was finished
Heaping lines half chewed unconscious

My heart is so proud. My mind is so unfocused.
I see the things You do through me as great things I
have done. And now You gently break me, then lovingly
You take me and hold me as my father and mold me as my
maker.
Chorus:
I ask you: "How many times will you pick me up, when I
keep on letting you down?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory, how far
will forgiveness abound?"
And you answer: " My child, I love you.
And as long as you're seeking My face, You'll walk in
the pow'r of My daily sufficient grace."
At times I may grow weak and feel a bit discouraged,
knowing that someone, somewhere could do a better job.
For who am I to serve You?I know I don't deserve You.
And that's the part that burns in my heart and keeps me
hanging on.
Chorus*
I ask you: "How many times will you pick me up, when I
keep on letting you down?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory, how far
will forgiveness abounds?"
And you answer: " My child, I love you.
And as long as you're seeking My face, You'll walk in
the pow'r of My daily sufficient grace."
You are so patient with me, Lord.
As I walk with You, I'm learning what Your grace really
means. The price that I could never pay was paid at
Calvary. So, instead of trying to repay You, I'm
learning to simply obey You
by giving up my life to you For all that You've given
to me.
Chorus:
I ask you: "How many times will you pick me up, when I
keep on letting you down?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory, how far
will forgiveness abounds?"
And you answer: " My child, I love you.
And as long as you're seeking My face, You'll walk in
In the innocence fires and silent voices
Parading in your head
Yeah, some you'll fight and some you're kissing up
So you can be a better man
Grace, she calls you by your name
She whispers of a place where living waters flow
Your fears have sown such desperation
I can see it in your thirsty eyes
In the valley of your own decision
Let go fall and try
Grace, you've got to listen for the sound
Calling out your name, spring up through the underground
VS1: GRACE IS ON ME LIKE WATER GRACE SURROUNDS ME LIKE RIVERS DEEP YOUR GRACE
GRACE IS SINGING LIKE ANGELS GRACE IS WASHING THE NATIONS FEET YOUR GRACE, YOUR GRACE
CH: POURING OUT, POURING OUT POURING OUT, YOUR GRACE, UPON ME
POURING OUT, POURING OUT POURING OUT, MY HEART TO THANK THEE
VS2: GRACE IS LEADING ME ONWARDS GRACE IS TEACHING ME TO FORGIVE YOUR GRACE, YOUR GRACE
Under an early sun, I hear a song, a desperate soundOut
of the open sky, an angel falling to the ground
Familiar to me-I feel a sickening sense of déjà vu
It used to be the song I'd sing
Until you touched me with your hands
And you showed me your sweet face
I was a ghost before, a silent heart, unoccupied
Uncomfortable in my skin, a clumsy shell where I would
hide
I barely cared to breathe; I didn't have a reason to
Now when I do, I breathe for you
Because you touched me with your hands
And you showed me your sweet face
And you changed me with your truth
And you saved me with your grace
I feel resurrected, I feel born again in perfect skin
What did I feel before you opened up and let me in?
I can't recall, anything at all
Until you touched me with your hands
And you showed me your sweet face
And you changed me with your truth
Arms outstretched, looking for any chance to take flight.
Chance always favors a prepared mind.
Don't judge the man that I am by the boy that I was back then;
time has changed the circumstance, and left behind my innocence.
Even if the beat slows down.
Even if the love starts fading out, don't go and give it away.
Surface my lack of depth for your lack of grace.
I always knew that I was never good enough for you.
I just never thought you'd find out so soon.
They read better than they can speak.
They speak better than they could ever lead.
Even if the beat slows down.
Even if the love starts fading out, don't go and give it away.
Surface my lack of depth for your lack of grace.

When you were young
You thought that maybe you could be the north star
You didn't know better
By age fourteen they had your feet firmly planted on the ground
Some day you'll find out
What it is
That you wanted to be
Someday you'll find
What it is
That you wanted to be
All of the things you were supposed to be will lead the way to what you are
All of the things you were supposed to be will lead the way to what you are
When do you feel the most alone you've ever felt
Only filling empty space
There's something still I see in you
Sure to me you radiate
Still to me the truest form of grace
Some day you'll find out
What it is
That you wanted to be
Someday you'll find
What it is
That you wanted to be
All of the things you were supposed to be will lead the way to what you are
All of the things you were supposed to be will lead the way to what you are
[feat. J.R.]
Age 16, young and bad I ain't had no curfew
With dudes older than me couldn't see being in church dude
Instead, I'm in the street with a heart like night
Like maybe I'm like Jay-Z living the hard knock life
Eyes, scored by light - I'd rather chop and slang
Pop and hang, be schooled how to cock and aim
Looking back my eyes had to be blurry like glass tint
In the rush for my demise, thank God it's the past tense Lord!
I pray the youth would hear the truth in these words
Actually all is vanity outside of You that I serve
Yes! Even this music's a heavenly melody
From the Father telling me to quote to you what He said to me
IF, I wasn't embedded with the Spirit He fed to me
Life love and joy as I know it'd only be dead to me.
But I was resurrected with Christ, the kingdom's prepared for me
If you receive and believe it's a joy you can share with me
Come on!
Amazing Grace, I once was blind but now
Your grace has let me see
Thank God I've been redeemed
I once was lost but now
By your great grace I'm found
Praise God I've been redeemed
The Lord doesn't hurt your position, true repentance will get you out of that state
Escape the hand of His wrath, receive the plan of His grace
Listen, I know it seems like the world has a lot it can offer you
And because of it it's hard for you to hear that He's calling you
Let me talk to you about the void that you feel
You try to replace it with things but the joy isn't real
I had that, filled myself with the fame and the money
And all my quest was still stressed 'cause my flesh it remained hungry.
The pain was there, through all the herb I was cheefing
It was plain it would be the same until I fervently seeked Him then
Seeked Him then, saw the urgency of me and my sin
It's an emergency we believe upon Him
Look, dawg I'm knowing that the streets is real
And them dudes carry heat for real
Listen to me for real, God He is realer than that
Receive Him before He really comes back
'Cause that's what real c'mon!
Lord, my earnest prayer is for my family tree
'Cause it would be (timber!), without You standing with me
I pray, somehow that they would get the good to repenting
Consistent conviction were never were mentioned in Scripture
Hell is hot, I can't give a drop on the tongue
And in the streets, believe you can leave at the cock of a gun my hommies
This world ain't it, please put your eyes to the light
'Cause who's my mother who's my brother if their lives ain't in Christ?
I guess, Matthew 10 and 34 is the key
What He came to be, 'cause there's this war between you and me
Fam, I love you but you on that side of the fence
I just wish He'd quicken your heart, cause I can't try to convince
I've cried and then ceased, but without the tears on my cheeks
For years I would weep, praying you would hear when He speaks
Sincere with my speech, if you opened your ears I could reach
I would walk away, today if you decide
It's just a waste of time I would take the pain
I'm so lost in you Although it feels the same that
You've been gone I still held on (to you)
Help me understand why we can't amend
A little more than just good friends
That's all I wanted us to be
So tell me now then why we're here
Confused and drunk on a few beers
Never fear a million years may pass and I would still be
I would still be here
I would still be here
So if you(ve) decided to change your mind
I'll be waiting here for you without exception
Don't it bother you at all you've been acting like a wall
And I've been crashing into you with good intention
I would give a day
A week a month a life a year if it would mean you would stay
I'm so lost in you
Although it feels the same that
You've been gone I still held on (to you)
Help me understand why we can't amend
A little more than just good friends
That's all I wanted us to be
So tell me now then why we're here
Confused and drunk on a few beers
Never fear a million years may pass and I would still be
So if you've decided to change your mind
I'll be waiting here for you without exception
Don't it bother you at all you've been acting like a wall
We know that it's only human
We know that it's only love
We know that its far too close to home
To see it now
Love all we can before
We learn all we came for
Learn all we can before
The road leads to home
Grace, grace, grace, grace

High road warning
Grace, grace, grace, grace (Say no more)

IZ-REAL VERSE:
If it wasn’t for ya grace no doubt I’d be hopeless
a schizophrenic living life homeless
paranoid thoughts every moment
in the trash with a can of OE hungry looking for doughnuts
I’d probably be depressed tryin’ to mask it
on average drinking away my problems ‘til the liver can’t manage
news reports states and it’s tragic
at twenty-six commits suicide by suffocating in plastic
man I’m quite sure I’d be locked up
a victim of the game mom ashamed to explain my illegal conduct
or matched up in the D.A.’s after line ups
on my death bed doctors report time’s up
I could be hustlin’ crack
known in the trap as the dope boy twisting ya cap
or I might across the map promoting sin as I act
ya kid’s idol preaching death through my raps
MAC THE DOULOS VERSE:
I could have been a slave to my own lust
Hooked on drugs, sweeping it under the rug…unwilling to own up
Or maybe a pedophile.
A sadistic misfit who gets kicks out of tryin’ to sex a child
I’d be who the devil’s usin’. Believin’ evolution
Screamin’ revolution for no apparent reason
Maybe an irresponsible parent even
Or a fool grippin’ a tool instead of finishin’ school
My story could have come
To me livin’ a criminal lifestyle slapped with a mandatory minimum
My friends would have come
To my funeral cuz I tried to be tough in a gun fight and didn’t run
Instead of doin’ these gigs, I might be doin’ a bid
From corner biz thinking I was doin’ it big
I’m thankful he hunted me down
A lost dude who ain’t wanna be down is now a son who is found
HOOK:
I should have woke up in my grave
With no escape from God’s wrath gotta deal with His rage
A sin slave hell’s fate for the human race
But Christ saves through faith. What amazing grace!
(repeat)
IZ-REAL VERSE:
No grace scratch love and compassion
I’d no I be snapping heart cold like the winters in aspen
grudges in my heart from the past tense
living in unforgiveness tryin’ to deal with pain daily through Aspirin
I’d probably be struggling bad the next dead beat dad
with hidden bags of photographs from porno ads
never seekin’ help for the habit like I’m far from a addict
in denial lies killing my marriage
could be confused since the first step unstable like waves get
deceived blind chasing the same sex
never introduced to the faith yet but flying a main jet
with no clue of my after life and the plane wrecks
might steal from ya mother beef with ya brother
or pops I’d be the creep you hate too creep with ya daughter
I might be clowning Christians down with Islam
helpless like drowning victims
MAC THE DOULOS VERSE:
Minus God, I’d be somewhere on broad in a brawl over some broad
Following that road that’s broad
Instead of this road that’s narrow
In the path of god’s wrath pulled back like a bow and arrow
Could have been slipped a bad bag loosing my mind state
Or breakin’ into ya pad boostin’ the crime rate
Could have been showing up in court
For turnin’ someone you know into a corpse, still showing no remorse
Could have been binge drinking and vomiting
Over a toilet then drinking a Heineken again
Cuz of sin in my genes, I’d be chasing cinnamon queens
Tryin’ to get in they’re jeans if Jesus ain’t intervene
No beats on the MPC
or emceein’ with CM until the lungs is empty see
I’d be a heretic minus a savior
If not for God’s unmerited kindness and favor
HOOK:
I should have woke up in my grave
With no escape from God’s wrath gotta deal with His rage
A sin slave hell’s fate for the human race
But Christ saves through faith. What amazing grace!
(repeat)
CHANT:
He sought us. He bought us.
He raised us from the grave plus
He changed us…rearranged us
Amazing grace has saved us
He’s seeking you. He’s seeking to
Raise you from the grave too
He can change you…rearrange you
Oh, no, no, no, no...
They said she never would amount to much...
A long, long list of reasons why the world would drag
her down...
And lies, lies, lies, lies they may be true but what's
the difference now, she's gone...
And pride, pride, pride, pride may have made a change
to help her out, but it couldn't now
She's high on a wing to see the world above
everything...
Come and fly on a wing to meet the place she is
supposed to be, with me
And all the while counting the memories til the coming
day of Grace...
I smile, smile, smile, but it doesn't seem to fill the
empty space...
So why, why, why, why, why do the good things seem to
wash away from me, I don't know...
And I miss her so, and her reflection in the pool of
life, she's gone bye bye
Too high on a wing to see the world above everything...
Come and fly on a wing to meet me in the place to be,
you see?
High on a wing to see the world above everything...
Come and fly on a wing to meet the place she is
supposed to be...
She's high on a wing to see the world above
everything...
Come and fly on a wing to meet the place she is
supposed to be
Come fly higher, higher, higher, higher
SOFTLY I TREAD ON HOLLOWNESS
MY BODY IGNORANT OF THIS
HOW DID THIS HAPPEN TO ME
HOW DID I LOSE MY GRACE AND
I TASTE IT
wont swallow
the heroin of emptiness
how did this come upon me again again
chorus
this ocean so violent as i seem calm from afar
this siren compliant
with deadly waters of thought
i only know that in the morning as i touch your skin
i touch your grace
that holy place that i miss
i thought i knew all that was you
all that lie in your faith in me
how did you strip this from me
how did i lose my face and
a psalm of hope a psalm of skin
i crucify the numb within
how did this come upon me again again
this ocean so violent
as i seem calm from afar
this siren compliant
with deadly waters of though
i dont know
how i came
to be like you my friend now
i only know that in the morning as i touched your skin
i touched my grace that holy place that i miss
for those who loved for those who died
for those whose love has not survived
dont ever lose your faith
Grace comes home drunk
And beats on the door to my gut
I fumble with locks til a wound opens
And she falls in laughing
Honey, I'm home
Honey, I'm home
I wince as she stumbles up my spine
And leaves a trail of bruises on my ribs
I choke on her dancing on my tongue
Where she kicks out a tooth
Honey, I'm home
Honey, I'm home
She smokes her cigarettes inside my head
And blows all the smoke into my eyes
Til one melts a tear and she sighs,
Just what I thought
Heartless
I'll take my love, with a pinch of loyalty
But loyalty has been wiped, clean of this place
What is rightfully mine
Has faded from memory
Just like your elegance
Like your integrity
Those things you said will always haunt my mind
Those hurtful things that cannot be erased
Those fateful words [x2]
Will be your fall from grace
Why[x4]
Those things you said will always haunt my mind
Those hurtful things that cannot be erased
Those fateful words [x2]

GRACE
© Electric Babylon Music Author: M.M.
If I live thru the death of this night, if I see that sweet morning light,
destiny is just a days ride, this lonesome night will be my guide, she
could not reveal her grace, I could not see past her face, her touch was
like the wind, her beauty my only friend.
Come to me now, come to me now.
This storm has been a comfort to me, like a fish in a raging sea, as I
move thru this dream, like a leaf on a stream, I want to dance on the sky,
I never never want to know why, there she goes and I am gone for dead,
is it all just in my head.
Come to me now, come to me now.
The dawn has cut thru this night, but there’s a fog that rises to the light,
my vision is tempted with haze, the morning’s breath leaves me in a
daze, in this fog she’ll be hard to find, but I cant get her out of my mind, I
wish just once she would come to me on her own, and never ever leave
me here alone.
Come to me now, come to me now.
I swung that hammer
'Till my hands got weak
Swung that thing
'Till I was crazy from the heat
I built that tower right in my back yard
I worked so long man, I tried so hard
Ain't no ladder
Ain't no steps
Ain't no way to earn it
I'm talkin' 'bout Grace, Grace
Lay it all down my brother, my sister
Lay it all down at the feet of Grace
Grace, Grace
Lay it all down my brother, my sister
Lay it all down at the feet of Grace
I jumped so high
That I caused a scene
Followed every rule
'Till I was squeaky clean
Learned so much, that I didn't know a thing
All that work man, and what did it bring?
Ain't no ladder
Ain't no steps
Ain't no way to earn it
I'm talkin' 'bout Grace, Grace
Lay it all down my brother, my sister
Lay it all down at the feet of Grace
Grace, Grace
Lay it all down my brother, my sister
Lay it all down at the feet of Grace
Oh my, my
Could it be?
The best things in life are
Still free, still free, still free, still free
We've got to give it up
When what we have is much too much, my brother
We've got to give it up
When what we have is just not enough, my sister
We've got to give it all
When all we've got has led us to seek not His face
We've got to keep on, keep on, keeping on
Layin' it all down
Lay it all down
Lay it all down now
Take my house, my car and my cat
Take it all and don't bring it back
The only thing that I've got
That's worth anything
Is this gift so
Humbling, humbling. Oh humbling, so humbling,
Oh humbling, so humbling,
Oh humbling, so humbling
Give me that gift so humbling
Grace, Grace
Grace, Grace
Lay it all down my brother, my sister
Lay it all down at the feet of Grace
Oh my, my
Could it be?
Oh my, my
Oh my, my
Could it be?
The best things in life are
Still free
Lay it all down my brother, my sister
Lay it all down at the feet of Grace
We've got to give it up
I've burnt myself out obsessed with what I couldn't be. Tired of wasting time on the fucking things that I could never see. It never was the same, can never go back to that way. I've wasted too many days waiting on a beginning. Can't measure up to the past. Ending this wreak without an impact. Not good enough for the best. I've ruined it this far, won't ruin the rest.
I put my whole heart into an empty hole. I've been sailing paper ships, watching you burn them all down. Not praying for tomorrow so you can just throw it in my face. This time I'm leaving, won't wait for another heart break. Can't measure up to the past. Ending this wreak without an impact. Not good enough for the best. I've ruined it this far, won't ruin the rest. And I won't wait for this...
Verse:
Mary was a little girl in the summer of 63,
She had her whole life ahead of her, and she knew what she wanted to be...
Well everything happens for a reason so they say,
Then that year when her daddy died, she almost lost her way...
Chorus:
But Mary had Grace, Mary had pride,
She knew who she was down deep inside...
And she stood tall through it all
And she found her way...
'Cause Mary had Grace.
Verse:
Many years down the road she'd found the love of her life,
A big wedding and a little girl named 'Grace', it seemed so right...
But four years later the walls they built just started to fall apart,
And Mary thought she was all alone to mend her broken heart...
Chorus:
But Mary had Grace, Mary had pride,
She knew who she was down deep inside...
And she stood tall through it all,
And she found her way...
'Cause Mary had Grace.
Bridge:
Being a single mom aint always been so bad,
When things get rough, she looks at all she has...
Chorus:
Mary has Grace, Mary has pride,
She knows who she is down deep inside...
And she'll stand tall through it all
And she'll find a way... Yeah she'll find a way...
Lead...
Chorus:
Mary has Grace, Mary has pride,
She knows who she is down deep inside...
And she'll stand tall through it all
And she'll find a way
Spend a little time standing on the front lines,
and you really can't talk at all.
Your mind begins to wonder,
is there any love at all?
The photographs you took,
yeah, there was something in their eyes.
Every saint used to be a sinner,
every man used to be a child.
You said it was all in inside my mind!
You were wrong!
There was grace!
You saw the enemy,
I saw your face.
People like you and I
spinning through space.
You were wrong,
I still have faith.
I still have faith.
Every time I feel the sunshine
I thank the Lord up above,
for seeing something I
couldn't see at all.
Coming down hard,
the feeling's all gone.
Where are we gonna hide?
My wings are feeling clipped now,
and all I wanna do is fly.
You were wrong!
There was grace!
you saw the enemy,
I saw your face.
People like you and I
spinning through space.
You were wrong,
I still have faith.
I still have faith, yeah.
Something's gotta give!
Get up, stand up, see through it!
Gotta get this message to you!
You said life don't mean a thing,
that there's no reason left to dream!
You were wrong!
There was grace!
You saw the enemy,
I saw your face.
People like you and I
spinning through space.
You were wrong!
There was grace!
You were wrong,
We all lie in a pile as the dead driver drives
We all lie in a pile singing songs in straight lines
We all lie in a pile as the dead driver drives
We all lie in a pile singing songs all the while
I could pass away
Pass away and not much would be left
Ashes, ashes on the ground
I guess I never left the ground
Murder, murder on the walls
Late night curtain calls are heard by skeletons in closets
Man they'll reach out and grab your hands
'Cause you've got grace on a bad day
'Cause you've got grace on a bad day
'Cause you've got grace throw
Everybody's face under the falling eyes
We hold onto this moment all our lives
We all stand in a circle what's yours it was mine
We all lie in a pile as the dead driver drives
We all lie in a pile singing songs all the while
I could pass away
It still wouldn't feel real to me
This illusive walk of death
Holding hands with skeletons
Learners, teachers will provide
Their own sweet style of elegant lies
But I won't stop trying
No I won't stop trying
'Cause you've got grace on a bad day
'Cause you've got grace on a bad day
'Cause you've got grace throw
Everybody's face under the falling eyes
'Cause you've got grace on a bad day
'Cause you've got grace throw
Everybody's face under the falling eyes
'Cause you've got grace on a bad day
'Cause you've got grace on a bad day
'Cause you've got grace throw
Everybody's face under the falling eyes
We all lie in a pile as the dead driver drives
We all lie in a pile singing songs in straight lines
We all lie in a pile as the dead driver drives
We all lie in a pile singing songs all the while
We all lie in a pile singing songs all the while

"A song about thanksgiving - not the holiday, just the act of giving thanks." KB
Bobby's lyin' round like the wakin' dead
He's got a big black cloud hangin' over his head
I want to get him up, get him out the door
I'd like to get him drunk, but he don't drink no more
He says, "Oh, buddy, I really thought she was the one
Tell me what happened, 'cause we were havin' so much fun."
Some of us will live in love, and some will watch love die
There but for the grace of you, go I
Girl but for the grace of you, go I
Teddy married Betty, when they were still in school
And he never was her first choice, she never was his fool
50 years together, that was somethin' less than bliss
Rarely did they tell the truth and rarely did they kiss
Pass the fish sticks, and tell me what you did today
And the clock ticks, they're runnin' out of things to say
I've seen ashes in the wind, and I've never seen him cry
There but for the grace of you, go I
Girl but for the grace of you, go I
Off we go in a cloud of dust, let the chips fall where they must
Girl you turned my life around, in the time it takes a heart to pound
Some of us will live in love, and some will watch love die
There but for the grace of you, go I
We cant just turn our eyes away from this
Turn a blind eye and act like it doesn't exist
Bury our heads in the sand
Close the curtains and act like everything is fine
While the whole world dies
We've got to lift ourselves up
We've got to life ourselves up
We've got to lift ourselves up to grace
Oh Grace, Oh Grace, Oh Grace
Oh Grace, Oh Grace, Oh Grace
We cant just look at things in black and white
We've got to think about, what will happen and what might
We cant just drain bleed and run dry
Giving nothing back and taking everything away
Untill there's nothing left
We've got to lift ourselves up
We've got to life ourselves up
We've got to lift ourselves up to grace
Oh Grace, Oh Grace, Oh Grace
Oh Grace, Oh Grace, Oh Grace
We've got to lift ourselves up
We've got to life ourselves up
We've got to lift ourselves up to grace
Oh Grace, Oh Grace, Oh Grace
Oh Grace, Oh Grace, Oh Grace
Lyrics By
Give me faith in the world, faith in the world, point the way
Give me faith in the world, faith in the world, point the way
But I don't know how to love
I don't know how to trust myself
But I'll do my best to suffer with some grace
Give me faith in the world, faith in the world, with our pain
Give me faith in the world, faith in the world, with our pain, our...
But I don't know how to love
I don't know how to trust myself
But I'll do my best to suffer with some grace
I don't know how to love
I don't know how to trust myself
Everywhere I go, I want to see the light
And if I had to do it all again
You know I'd want to make it right
Inside of me, buried in the past that I must learn
There is no other way to grow
And I just want to tell you what I know
I just wanna tell you how could I forget to
I just wanna let you know
Grace
I wanna live in grace
I gotta find some grace
I wanna live in grace for evermore
And if you ask me if I've ever been to hell
Then I would say to you
It almost took my life, now I will tell
It lied to me, every little thing I had to burn
There is no other way to grow
Now I just want to tell you what I know
I just wanna tell you how could I forget to
I just wanna let you know
Grace
I wanna live in grace
I gotta find some grace
I wanna live in grace for evermore
It almost took me down
And it has always lied to me
Then I would say to you
So won't you save me, can't you see
Grace
I wanna live in grace
I gotta find some grace
I wanna live in grace for evermore
Grace
I wanna live in grace
I gotta find some grace
Vs. 1
It was grace that brought me here
Though the way was never clear
In my constant wandering you were always near
It was grace that brought me here
Vs. 2
Through the fathoms of the deep
Cross the valleys of my sleep
While the storm was gathering
You whispered in my ear
It was grace that brought me here
Chorus
Fair is the morning
Onward as I go
I know you’re with me
My heart tells me so
Vs. 3
In the towers of the night
When I’ve lost my strength to fight
You said you believed in me
And washed away my fears
It was grace that brought me here
Chorus
It was grace that brought me here
Though the way was never clear
In my constant wandering
You were always here
It was grace that brought me here
It was grace, it was grace,
.... Hi. I'm Bridgette Harrington and I'm here to interview Morris Day, lead singer of THE TIME.
.... Mr. Day, How are you?
Need you ask?
.... I'll take it that you're fine.
Yes, I've been told that.
.... Oh, OK. Tell me. Are you really so cool?
Is money green?
.... When did you first notice your coolness?
I didn't. The doctor did.
You see, most people were born in birthday suits. I was born in a zute suit.
.... You got to be joking.
Baby, I ain't got time for jokes. What time is it anyway?
.... It's time for us to continue this interview.
.... How does THE TIME go about generating such a funky sound?
Pardon me. I know you didn't say "funk.".
.... Well?
Let me just say one thing. Funk is dead.
Funk is something you can learn in school and ain't nothing funky about being cool, ... Grace.
.... OK, but my name is Bridgette.
Oh I'm sorry, ... Grace.
.... It seems your image has a lot to do with your approch to music.
.... Your clothes for example.
My clothes, fuck. Hold it.
Let me, let let me just say something to all the fellas out there.
Take off them blue jeans and them "New Wave" clothes and go get you some "Baggies."
It's about the freedom, right?
In other words, stay at the hotel with the biggest ballroom.
Don't get me wrong. Some of my best friends wear blue jeans.
I'm just not ever seen them in it.
What time is it?
.... Why are you concerned with the time?
'Cause I got somewhere to go.
.... Where's that?
To the Cork, Johnny.
.... I told you my name is Bridgette.
Sorry, Nella.
.... I don't think I like you at all.
.... Is there anything else you would like to say before we close this interview?
Yes!!!!
What's your phone number?
.... Uuh! - 7..., 7..., 7..., 9..., 3..., 1..., 1.
Ain't nobody bad like me?
777-9311
