Grace
Ed Kowalczyk Lyrics

Spend a little time standin' on the front lines
If you spend time enduring the most demanding situations, it can change your perspective.

And you really can't talk at all
It's hard to fully comprehend the struggles of others when you haven't gone through them yourself.

Your mind begins to wonder
Being exposed to difficult situations can cause a sense of uncertainty and doubt.

Is there any love at all?
Experiencing hardships can make you question whether love and kindness exist in the world.

The photographs you took
Memories can hold important messages and emotions that we can learn from.

Yeah there was somethin' in their eyes
Photos can reveal more about the subject than their physical appearance, capturing a deeper emotion or connection.

Every saint used to be a sinner
No one is perfect, and everyone has made mistakes or done something they aren't proud of.

Every man used to be a child
We all start out with the same innocence and potential, but our experiences shape who we become.

You said it was all in inside my mind
Someone told the artist that their problems were all just in their head and not real.

You were wrong
The artist's struggles were valid and real, not just imagined.

There was grace
Despite the hardships and difficult times, there was still beauty and kindness in the world.

You saw the enemy
The person who told the artist their struggles weren't real saw everything as a fight and viewed others as adversaries.

I saw your face
The singer recognizes the person who doubted them and their role in the situation.

People like you and I
The singer and the person who doubted them are similar in some way, sharing experiences or perspectives.

Spinnin' through space
Life can feel chaotic and unpredictable, like being lost in space with no clear direction.

I still have faith
Despite everything, the artist still believes in something greater and better than the difficulties they face.

Every time I feel the sunshine
The artist is grateful for the good moments in life and acknowledges the positive things.

I thank the Lord up above
The singer feels a sense of gratitude and thankfulness towards a higher power or entity.

For seein' somethin' I
The singer is grateful for having the opportunity to experience or witness something meaningful.

Couldn't see at all
Without a new perspective or appreciation, the artist wouldn't have been able to fully understand or appreciate the moment.

Comin' down hard
The situation is becoming increasingly difficult or overwhelming.

The feelin's all gone
The initial hope or positive emotion has faded or disappeared.

Where are we gonna hide?
The singer is looking for an escape or relief from their current struggles, but can't seem to find one.

My wings are feelin' clipped now
The artist feels restricted or held back from their full potential.

And all I wanna do is fly
Despite the restrictions, the singer still has a desire to soar and be free.

Somethin's gotta give
Something has to change or shift in order for the situation to improve.

Get up stand up see through it
The singer is encouraging themselves to rise above the current challenges and gain greater clarity.

Gotta get this message to you
The artist is trying to communicate something important to a specific person or audience.

You said life don't mean a thing
The person who doubted the artist's struggle viewed life as meaningless or pointless.

That there's no reason left to dream
The person who doubted the singer's struggle believed that there was no point in having goals or aspirations.
