Saving Grace Songtext
von Common

Behind my eyes, I reach for skies that tell no lies
The earth, it cries for change that can′t be televised
We polarized and synthesized by stimuli
My heart is wide, though parts have died
I can't deny, I realize
Your eternal eyes see through my disguise
These falls, what do they symbolize?
I know that you made me to rise
I need pain to feel alive
When racism′s still alive
I was told that life's a bitch
Hope that she don't kill my vibe
I′ve been still, but still I rise
Lots of things I feel inside
Took some shots that′s ill-advised
Your grace and will is still alive
I could breathe again, believin' in the deeds of men
Your likeness, we created in
It′s where we begin, leadin' into your grace


In your grace, I make peace
You got me, I got power
In your grace, I make peace
You got me, I got power
In your grace, I make peace
You got me, I got power
In your grace, I make peace
You got me, I got power

Some days I don′t have the energy
Holdin' back the pain of my ancestry
Tryna break the patterns of our history
Changin′ the direction of my family tree
I worked so hard, they're so proud of me
I don't have no time to be visiting
I′m runnin′ through my life, look what I get to be
Thirty-three with something to give to my offspring
My mom and dad tried to teach their love to me
Some days I forget that I am lovin' me
That God is of of me, and not above of me
And I know he still loves me


In your grace, I make peace
You got me, I got power
In your grace, I make peace
You got me, I got power
In your grace, I make peace
You got me, I got power
In your grace, I make peace
You got me, I got power

Lead me into your grace
Grace, grace
