Gracefully. Songtext
von Ben Zaidi

Throw my hopes all in the sky
Nobody cares if I die
There′s no features in my face
But I wear it just the same

Wear it gracefully
Gracefully
Gracefully

I guess I washed up on the shore
All I owned was what I wore
I took a breath and I was fine
And counted all those yellow signs

Swinging gracefully
Gracefully
Gracefully

And when that bus takes us away
We'll watch the streetlights fade to grey
And where we head, we′ll never know
All we can hope is when we go


We go gracefully
Gracefully
Gracefully
That we go gracefully
Gracefully
Gracefully

So that's why I say, if you get back to the music, you get yourself
Out of the mode of "I have to do this thing," you know? You get
Yourself out of the externalized mode of judgement and of feeling
You know, like you're, um, on a, you know, on a bubble, or, you
Know, pun-pun intended, I guess, you know, on stage. You get
Yourself out of the notion that, you know, that you′re there to
Impress these people, and you get yourself back to the idea that
You′re there to communicate something. If that was your goal, what
More, 'cause you could just as well, you know, have done something
Else. No, you have a gift. It′s what you love. You should be
Connecting to that as your reason
And your purpose, and you'll be fine

And put those French fries in the sky
′Cause I'm just learning how to die
Gracefully
Gracefully
Gracefully
Gracefully
