Have you ever been
close to tragedy
Or been close to
folks who have?
Have you ever felt
a pain so powerful
So heavy you collapse?
No
Have you ever?
I've never had to
knock on wood
But I know someone
who has
Which makes me
wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if
I've never had to
knock on wood
And I'm glad I haven't yet
Because I'm sure
it isn't good
That's the impression
that I get
Have you ever had the
odds stacked up so high
You need a strength
most don't possess?
Or has it ever come down
to do or die?
You've got to rise
above the rest
No
Have you ever?
I've never had to
knock on wood
But I know someone
who has
Which makes me wonder
if I could
It makes me wonder if
I've never had to
knock on wood
And I'm glad I haven't yet
Because I'm sure
it isn't good
That's the impression
that I get
I'm not a coward
I've just never
been tested
I'd like to think that if
I was I would pass
Look at the tested
And think there
for the grace go I
Might be a coward
I'm afraid of what
I might find out
never had to
knock on wood
But I know someone
who has
Which makes me
wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if
I've never had to
knock on wood
And I'm glad I haven't yet
Because I'm sure
it isn't good
That's the impression
that I get
I've never had to happen
to knock on wood
But I know someone
who has
Which makes me
wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if I
never had to happen
to knock on wood
Because I'm sure
it isn't good
And I'm glad I haven't yet
That's the impression
that I get
