Grace

Taking a moment of peace to reflect on Grace

Grace

She takes the blameShe covers the shameRemoves the stainIt could be her name

GraceIt's the name for a girlIt's also a thought thatChanged the world

And when she walks on the streetYou can hear the stringsGrace finds goodnessIn everything

GraceShe's got the walkNot on a ramp or on chalkShe's got the time to talk

She travels outsideOf karma, karmaShe travels outsideOf karma

When she goes to workYou can hear her stringsGrace finds beautyIn everything

GraceShe carries a world on her hipsNo champagne flute for her lipsNo twirls or skips between her fingertips

She carries a pearlIn perfect conditionWhat once was hurtWhat once was frictionWhat left a markNo longer stings

Because Grace makes beautyOut of ugly things

Grace finds beautyIn everything

Grace finds goodness in everything

Cheers

Waterfall

It's okay to not do or be everything. And we need to hear this sometimes

Waterfall Lyrics

It's too heavy a loadOh, it's too heavy a loadLet it go before your back gets brokeIt's too heavy a load

Must be hard to stand up straightWith the weight that's on your backMust be hard to hold the ocean in your armsDon't be scared to spill a drop and open upBaby, we can talk if you wanna talk

Don't always got to be strongBaby, let it fall, like a waterfallLove you the most of allWhen you let it fall (let it fall), like a waterfall (like a waterfall)

It's too heavy a loadOh, it's too heavy a loadLet it go before your back gets brokeIt's too heavy a load

Love is not a tender thingPull your strings until you snap

It can overflow the ocean in your heartIf you're drowning and it feels like it's too muchBaby, we can talk, if you wanna talk

Don't always got to be strongBaby, let it fall, like a waterfallLove you the most of allWhen you let it fall (let it fall), like a waterfall (like a waterfall)

You can let it fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall (fall)You can let it fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall (fall)

Let it fallLike a waterfallLet it fallLike a waterfall
