Sister Grace

grace you've been with me a long time so why do I keep walking alone
you helped me take my first breath and my first step
so why do I keep walking alone

it's so easy to shut myself out
to walk in the dark
to hide from the part of me
that shines with a light
so bright so bright
sister grace
I know you're a part of me

grace you've been with me a long time so why do I keep walking alone
you helped me take my first breath and my first step
so why do I keep walking alone

I find myself falling
can't get a grip on it
not even calling
lost not admitting it

then you send an angel
in fur skin or feather
the marriage with my heart and mind brings the pieces together

grace you are here
I know you will always be
you are my strength
you are my frailty

you are here
I know you will always be
you are my strength
you are my frailty
