Grace
Blue Hamilton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Must I live this life?
Patience by my side
grandly graced to sleep at night
I hang my head in shame
chances lost in one´s game
speak of failure
right to blame
If I misguide my frustration at you
forgive me, please, forgive me
I find it easy to live in the past
I´ve been regretting
so forgive me
There´s a man on the radio
imagine everybody living as one
how can you do it
how can you do it without love
There is greed in the air
don´t know where it came from
but it´s telling me it´s time
to move on
how can I do it
how can I do it without love
I woke up today
read of trust betrayed
why fight for all when I can run away
what is love to you
Something bought to use
they built us up to break us down
then they call it news
it begins within
live what you believe in
the answer is blowing in the wind
if I misguide my frustration at you
forgive me, please, forgive me
I find it easy to live in the past
I´ve been regretting
so forgive me
There´s a man on the radio
imagine everybody living as one
how can you do it
how can you do it without love
there is greed in the air
don´t know where it came from
but it´s telling me it´s time
to move on




how can I do it
how can I do it without love
