She's Called Grace

Story Behind The Song

In competition with 48 000 entries "She's Called Grace" reached 2nd place in 2019 USA Songwriting Competitions pop category, only beaten by the overall winner and received an Honorable Mention Award from the jury. The song was written after a long conversation with a friend about grace. When I change the song title from "It's Called Grace" to "She's Called Grace" the lyrics pretty much wrote itself.

Song Description

After the beginning with just a falsetto and a piano ostinato, the song grows to an energetic and ending where elements from the verse is building the chorus to a higher level. She's Called Grace is an optimistic and happy song about forgiveness and is explaining the concept of grace from a different and poetic angle.

Lyrics

You have tried
Done all you can to be the man you
Want to be
Still your intensions end in heartache

How you hurt
All the ones you love the most, in the
End of day
You're feeling like the biggest fake

But as morning sun paints fields in gold
She rises too and yesterday is old

And while you're still asleep
She gets in to your room
And her hair will touch your face
As she's gently leaning over you
She softly whispers in your ear
And all you doubt just disappear
She says: Don't be afraid
The price is paid
Just like this day your all made new
She's called Grace

You wake up
Her scent still lingers - she is gone, when
You get up
In your mind a secret song
You don't know what you've done
To deserve this prize that you have won
And now you're walking with the King
Well boy, you don't deserve a thing

But still the darkness of the night is fooled
Any claim of yesterday is overruled

And while you're still asleep
She gets in to you room
And her hair will touch you face
As she's gently leaning over you
She softly whispers in your ear
And all your doubts just disappear
She says, don't be afraid
The price is paid
Just like this day you're all made new
She's called Grace

She's called Grace
She's called Grace
Just Grace
And it's all about Grace
She's called Grace
