Walk Grace
Lyrics
Verse 1
I came in broke, but I came in real
Hands still shaking, had to learn to heal
One day at a time, that’s the code I keep
When the mind gets loud and the nights get deep
We don’t just quit, we rebuild the frame
Own the hard truth, don’t run from the pain
Every scar I wear got a lesson in it
Every dark old room had a blessing in it
So I move with grace, even when I’m pressed
Even when my chest feel tight in my chest
I seen relapse try to dress like relief
But peace takes practice, it don’t come cheap
Pre-Chorus
And the people around me still fight their war
Got bills on the table and a weight on the floor
They ain’t in my rooms, but they carry that load
So I slow my mouth and I lighten the road
Chorus
Walk grace, walk grace
Give them room, give them space
Walk grace, walk grace
We all heal at a different pace
Walk grace, walk grace
No shame, no race
Walk grace, walk grace
Let love meet the mess face to face
Verse 2
Yeah, I know that look when the tempers climb
When the rent come due and the car don’t start
When the kid need shoes and the phone lights up
When the whole damn week feel too damn much
That’s life out there, it don’t clock out
It don’t care if you sober, it don’t back out
So I learn not to judge from the doorway
I was one bad day from the same old hallway
I used to point fingers, now I hold hands
Used to talk big, now I slow dance
Through the hard parts, through the sharp turns
Every bridge I cross, I let my heart learn
Patience ain’t weak, it’s a weapon too
It keeps me from saying what I can’t undo
Grace ain’t blind, it just sees the whole
Sees the hurt behind the cracked-up soul
Pre-Chorus
If I got clean, then I got a job
To keep my cool when the world gets hard
To be a safe place, not another fight
To leave a little light when I leave at night
Chorus
Walk grace, walk grace
Give them room, give them space
Walk grace, walk grace
We all heal at a different pace
Walk grace, walk grace
No shame, no race
Walk grace, walk grace
Let love meet the mess face to face
Bridge
I’m still in process, still under fire
Still learning how to let peace wire
Through my nerves when the old me screams
Through the wreckage and the in-between
So if you slip, I won’t step on you
If you’re late, I won’t count it too
We all got weather we don’t display
And some of us pray in a different way
Final Chorus
Walk grace, walk grace
Give them room, give them space
Walk grace, walk grace
We all heal at a different pace
Walk grace, walk grace
No shame, no race
Walk grace, walk grace
Let love meet the mess face to face
Walk grace, walk grace
Keep it kind, keep it straight
Walk grace, walk grace
That’s how we carry what we can’t take
