Grateful Songtext
von Derek Webb

You always said that there was nothing worse than making it
If every word in every single verse, you′re faking it
'Cause the truth would ruin you and you know it
So you sabotage yourself and smile

You always knew you were the lucky one but troubled still
′Cause on your way to anywhere you rode the rumble strip
Till you finally fell asleep at the wheel
You were aiming for the crash to wake you up

It took too long to get really good and grateful
But man i'm grateful now
It took too long to get really good and grateful
But man i'm grateful now

Do you believe that if you′re really saved, you′re always saved?
I'm asking for a friend whose opinion changes everyday
′Cause once I stopped digging around for a savior
Oh, that's when I finally found a friend


It took too long to get really good and grateful
But man i′m grateful now
It took too long to get really good and grateful
But man i'm grateful now

I used to think that every single good thing was in my rearview
Don′t underestimate a heart that thinks it just can't be made new
But then you came, you spoke my name
You walked me out of the grave I made
And you loved me oh, you loved me
Oh you loved me oh, you

It took too long to get really good and grateful
But man i'm grateful now
It took too long to get really good and grateful
But man i′m grateful now
It took too long to get really good and grateful
But man i′m grateful now
Too long to get really good and grateful
But man i'm grateful now
Too long to get really good and grateful
But man i′m grateful now
Too long to get really good and grateful
But man i'm grateful now
