Lyrics
STATE OF GRACE
Love's a state of mind.
How many times have I heard those words?
No one lives there anymore, and I have closed the door on pain.
I will not stumble up that path again pretending to be blind
For somebody else.
CHORUS: But softly, secretly,my heart must still believe
No matter what I say
That there must be a place for the simple truth
Within a STATE OF GRACE.
It's just a state of mind.
All fairy tales and fantasies.
I don't believe them anymore,
'Cause all the veils were torn away
And there was nothing there.
So I've left it all behind.
I've said that myself.
CHORUS
So imagine my surprise
To find the future shining in your eyes
When I thought I was so wise.
But that's a state of mind.
Like a house full of dark and empty rooms.
With strangers outside every door;
A stormy sea without a shore.
Where every day's just one more day....
It never really was that way.
CHORUS: 'Cause softly, secretly my heart will still believe,
No matter what it takes
That there will be a place for the simple truth
Within a STATE OF GRACE.
And when I see your face, then I have the proof
We're in a STATE OF GRACE.
