Grace

Let's raise a toast to the lives that we've lost, to the old times that passed by in the blink of an eye
Eyes on the iron-grey sky, kicking rocks, your mind on the past twelve months
It's been a crazy ride
Some memories get kinda hazy
It's the grime that stays with you
Life can be amazing
No time to get complacent
Your story's in the making
Pain of the world is blatant
Stay strong and never fake it
What's wrong with being flagrant
You've stayed isolated
Thinking you're off-base when there's a million lonely souls who have been branded with the same mark
Torn off the same tree bark
The pit's got you stuck but 2019's around
You made it

Take a look around
You can see the beauty reign

Let's raise a toast to the friends that we've lost
To the search for the wheat-straw in the enormous needle-stack that is life
Can't stop, I always move on
I keep my hustle uno
The vision keeps growing strong: I like it solo
My mind is like an old puzzle that's missing about a dozen pieces spread 'round in my noggin
Dreams crammed inside of the pockets of our skin suits
Chasing waves will only get us drowned
I'm watching life breathe through my window
There's a black lady outside of the store giving handouts to the poor
Hands marked by scar tissue yet all she does is smile and spread warmth
In life as in dance grace stands on blistered feet
These are the heroes we'll never hear about
As long as good's around we shouldn't worry
Out with the old, spread the love

Take a look around
You can see the beauty reign
Beauty reign
