Lyrics

"Grace"
© 2024, Gordon Thomas Ward

Sorting through piles of yesterdays’ losses and wins
Stumbling over promises, passions, and sins.
Telling yourself secrets you hid from the start,
Memories, persistent, haunting the rooms of your heart.

Slip off your dress, study the lines on your face.
One for each heartache stitched with your lies and your lace.
Two for the tales, stories your lovers deny. (add low harmony)
Three for the weight of perceptions filling your mind. (add high harmony(

Fires of fiction, deep in your shell.
Heavenly secrets are burning like hell.
I wish you the best, and pray that you taste
Grace.

Flaunted facades, fading like ghosts in a dream. (add low harmony)
Your trifling realities are not what they seem.
Extending your hand to the sun. It passes you by. (add high harmony)
Yeah, I once believed in you, but I don’t know why.

Tell me a secret I can believe.
Tell me one thing I can believe.
Tell me something about you to believe.
Oh, tell me something, just one thing, to believe.
Can you…tell me…anything?

Fires of fiction, deep in your shell.
Heavenly secrets are burning like hell.
Fires of fiction, deep in your shell.
Heavenly secrets are burning like hell.
Fires of fiction, deep in your shell.
Heavenly secrets are burning like hell.
Fires of fiction, deep in your shell. (add high harmony)
Burning with secrets you’ll never tell.
I wish you the best in your life, and pray that you taste,
I wish you the best in your life, and pray that you taste, (add low harmony)
Yes, I wish you the best. I pray that you taste, (add low and high harmonies)
Grace… Grace… Mmmm… Grace.
