Was 27, surviving my return sadder A long vacation but it sound so big Was full of secrets, locked it tight like iron mountain Running on empty sweater case Thought I wasn't enough, found I wasn't so tough Laying on the bathroom floor We were living on a falling line And I fell, the fault was all mine Couldn't take it anymore
By the grace of God There was no other way I picked myself back up I knew I had to stay I put one foot in front of the other And I looked in the mirror and decided to stay Wasn't gonna let love take me up that way
I thank my sister for keeping my head above the water When the truth was like swallowing sand Now every morning hope there is no more mourning Can finally see myself again I know I am enough, possible to be loved It was not about me Now I have to rise above Let the universe call the bluff Yeah, the truth will set you free
By the grace of God There was no other way I picked myself back up I knew I had to stay I put one foot in front of the other And I looked in the mirror and decided to stay Wasn't gonna let love take me up that way
That way, no, not in the name of love That way, no, I am not giving up
By the grace of God I picked myself back up I put one foot in front of the other And I looked in the mirror Looked in the mirror
By the grace of God There was no other way I picked myself back up I knew I had to stay I put one foot in front of the other And I looked in the mirror and decided to stay Wasn't gonna let love take me up that way
