Grace In Gravity

What we are and what we were once
Are now far estranged

Coming to the biggest city in the dead of summer
You were chosen 'cause you would not close your eyes
You danced among the finest black and blue
In revelation, a melancholy nothing could describe

This is grace and gravity
Grace and gravity

Touring in South Africa, the mountain rose
One day with a friend, visions to the ocean off the coast
He is white and you are black
And this makes some big difference after
Twisted fire and glass and steel
You're silent as they try to explain

This is grace and gravity
Grace and gravity

What we are and what we were once
Are now far estranged
What we are and what we were once
Are now far estranged

Your friend is cared for promptly now
But you must travel further to another
Saving grace that takes your kind
This journey marks a step that no one knew was irreversible
You say there is forgiveness and they say you'll never dance again

This is grace and gravity
Grace and gravity
Grace and gravity
Grace and gravity

What we are and what we were once
Are now far estranged
What we are and what we were once
Are now far estranged
