A Moment's GraceI wasn't born this wayI've been living a lie they say So when it brought me to my knees Well, I had everything So tell me would you please How could I possibly have needed so much more? The thing I was craving then Was some kind of laboring So I might find a friend In all the aching In my muscles as they hurt Oh, won't you put my hands to work To ease my mind? And you realize in a moments grace You've been unraveling the fabric of your coat And you pick a line down the wall and trace Until the end And when you walk back, sorry With a folding body Like you should No I am not Gonna die this way Maybe it was the mold you see That was knocking the wall in me And I forgot just what it was That I had needed to be For all the time I'd given Maybe I'd forgot what living was now for And you realize in a moments grace You might just already be on to something good And you pick a line down a cord and trace Because you can And when it comes back heavy You'll be more than ready Like you should Cause I am not Gonna die this way Through a crack in the road it sprung The seedling warm and young Stretching out for the sun It's August and I'm grinnin' For this time I might be winnin' As the moving lights that time of year lay still And as my body changes a pace I seem to know again That I am not gonna die this way And I'll hold my missis In a bed of kisses Like I should Cause I am not Gonna die this way |
