Grace

Drinkin Coke & vodka

Gotta keep the beast asleep

Else I'll sink into dark water

where i feel the devil creep

but i cannot let him get me

so i'm ballin up my fists

he says he wants to bet me

that i can't resist

Is this a melt-down?

Am I cavin' in?

No I don't wanna feel this

I need oblivion

But then Grace settles down beside me

rests her hand on my thigh

Says, "I know that you can do this

I can see it in your eye"

So I'm callin out the devil

tell him give me your best shot

he smiles and says i sound like my daddy

Right before he, too, was caught

Then he looks right at my children

With a smirk so dead and cruel

and he says he already has them

and he's always had me, too

But with Grace right here beside me

I can tell he's bluffin' tall

Cuz she reminds me who I am

and to what i have been called

So i tell him he's a liar

that my kids are strong and free

That may have worked on my daddy

But it won't work on me

So I let my words just ring there

And I pull my Grace real close

Feel her strength still linger

As i offer up a toast

"Here is to all new beginnings

And to the lies they leave behind"

And to my Grace credit the winnings

She's all the Good I need to find

"Here is to all new beginnings

And to the lies they leave behind"

And to my Grace credit the winnings

She's all the Good I need to find
