Grace in Gravity

What we are and what we were once
Are now far estranged
Coming to the biggest city
In the dead of summer
You were chosen 'cause you
Would not close your eyes
You danced among the finest--
Black and blue in revelation
A melancholy nothing could describe
This is Grace in Gravity
Grace in Gravity
Touring in South Africa
The mountain roads one day with a friend
Visions to the ocean off the coast
(so blue, so green)
He was white and you are black and
This makes some vague difference after
Twisted fire and glass and steel
You’re silent as they try to explain…
This is Grace in Gravity
(in another world now)
Grace in Gravity
And what we are and what we were once
Are now far estranged
What we are and what we were once
Are now far estranged
Your friend is cared for promptly now
But you must travel further to
Another saving grace that takes your kind
This journey marks a step
That no one knew was irreversible
You say there is forgiveness
And they say you’ll never dance again…
This is Grace in Gravity
Grace in Gravity (don't know where you’re going)
Grace in Gravity (going, going)
Grace in Gravity
And what we are and what we were once
Are now far estranged
What we are and what we were once
Are now far estranged
