Grace
Iommi & Glenn Hughes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everywhere I go, I want to see the light
And if I had to do it all again
You know I'd want to make it right
Inside of me, buried in the past that I must learn
There is no other way to grow
And I just want to tell you what I know

I just wanna tell you how could I forget to

I just wanna let you know

Grace, I wanna live in grace
I gotta find some grace
I wanna live in grace for evermore

And if you ask me if I've ever been to hell
Then I would say to you
It almost took my life, now I will tell
It lied to me, every little thing I had to burn
There is no other way to grow
Now I just want to tell you what I know

I just wanna tell you how could I forget to
I just wanna let you know

Grace, I wanna live in grace
I gotta find some grace
I wanna live in grace for evermore

It almost took me down
And it has always lied to me
Then I would say to you
So won't you save me, can't you see

Grace, I wanna live in grace
I gotta find some grace
I wanna live in grace for evermore

Grace, I wanna live in grace

I gotta find some grace
I wanna live in grace for evermore
