Fire & Grace

If I were, if I were, if I were in your place,
If the light that was shining upon you fell on my face,
Oh, I would have purpose,
I would have peace if I had your fire and grace,
If I were, if I were, if I were in your place

I'd never seen you struggling with crisis,
Who would have thought that someone
so vibrant was suffering in silence?
I just thought if I could take your spot for a day,
That would wash all of my problems away,
But you wear that mirage of perfection like a mask for depression,
Never asked if you were ok, only asked for your blessing,
I'm fathomless, once I was blind with my judgements,
But happiness doesn't coincide with abundance,
If we could truly see the beauty in simplicity,
Maybe you and me could soothe the beast and live blissfully?
Is it our wonder or the struggle in our nature,
That creates a hunger till we're converting our neighbour,
Because everybody want an ace of diamonds,
When they're holding a deck of spades,
We're all trying to fill a place inside us,
A prison guard to an empty space

If I were, if I were, if I were in your place,
If the light that was shining upon you fell on my face,
Oh, I would have purpose,
I would have peace if I had your fire and grace,
If I were, if I were, if I were in your place

When we find our value in other people's beauty,
When all we see is champions and we are just fans,
When we're so shallow and impressed by the jewellery,
We find it so challenging cos we are just Stan's,
And they are all gods, they are all goddesses,
We are just the hive in the halls of our offices,
We are just admirers, but find that the thing is,
The happiest people that we know, the least ambitious,
Look, with success comes the lessons like,
Don't get me wrong I feel blessed, but like every time,
I've been sitting in a winning position, I felt confusion,
Cos it didn't feel like winning, just felt like I wasn't losing,
I'm trying to destroy my heroes,
Because I'm not trying to claw at peaks,
I can admire your fire, but still know,
That we're all born flawed human beings, you know

If you were in my place,
You'd see your fire and grace,
If I were, if I were, if I were in your place,
If the light that was shining upon you fell on my face,
Oh, I would have purpose,
I would have peace if I had your fire and grace,
If I were, if I were, if I were in your place,
Troubled waters can appear calm on the surface,
A cool façade can be fuelled by a furnace,
I got grace under fire, you got fire and grace,
But if I were, if I were, if I were in your place
