Little Piece Of Grace

A little piece of grace just fell on me

And it stretches out about as far as I can see

It may last a week or two or only a day

But I'm gonna savor it until it goes away

I'm gonna let it roll off my tongue and into my dancing boots

I'm gonna let it sweep me offa my feet

'Cause if I had nothing before I got nothing to lose

And I might as well see where it's leading to

A little bit of luck is in my hands

A little bit of heaven is just fine with me

It used to be that I was scared of happiness

It was such a stranger that it made me a little nervous

And I thought that sadness was my one true friend

And I thought that happiness was just something that would end

But I'm gonna let it lift me up in its tender hands

I'm gonna let it rock me off to sleep

I'm gonna let it kiss my forehead when I'm down and out

I'm gonna let it do what it will with me

A little light is shining on me

A little flame is in my heart burning bright

I used to go around with armor on

I used to look at others with a calculated scorn

I just didn't wanna have anything to lose

So I kept the doors to my heart locked up and closed

But now I'm not gonna fight it anymore

Yes I'm gonna take the lock offa my door

Yes I'm gonna strip myself down and bare my skin

Yes I'm gonna let that happiness in
