Saving Grace

Songtext

[Verse 1] Do you wanna know how it started You know where it all began I started with a young girl And a young man She was wrapped up and messed up Loving until it hurts Finding out the man she loved Never cared from the first [Pre-Chorus] Then another came along Said, let me show you a new way She knew it was true She knew he’d be better But the strength to leave Just never came She kept holding on Through the ache and the shame [Chorus] Saving grace, saving grace You came and changed her face Saving grace, saving grace You taught her how to breathe again Saving grace, saving grace You found her in the dark (you found her in the dark) Saving grace, saving grace You reached her broken heart [Verse 2] She wore those years like bruises Under every pretty smile Kept on saying “I’m okay” When she hadn’t been in a while The house was full of silence And the nights were full of fear But your hand was at the window Even when she couldn’t hear [Pre-Chorus] Then another came along Said, let me show you a new way She knew it was true She knew he’d be better But the strength to leave Just never came She kept holding on Through the ache and the shame [Chorus] Saving grace, saving grace You came and changed her face Saving grace, saving grace You taught her how to breathe again Saving grace, saving grace You found her in the dark (you found her in the dark) Saving grace, saving grace You reached her broken heart [Bridge] And I know it took some falling To get her where she stands Now she’s walking in the daylight With a future in her hands Every scar became a story Every tear became a seed And the love that she was searching for Was always there in Thee [Final Chorus] Saving grace, saving grace You came and changed her face Saving grace, saving grace You taught her how to breathe again Saving grace, saving grace You found her in the dark (you found her in the dark) Saving grace, saving grace You reached her broken heart
