Текст песни: A Moment's Grace (Commentary) + перевод

I wasn’t born this way

I’ve been living a lie, they say

So when it brought me to my knees

Well, I had everything

So tell me, would you, please

How could I possibly have needed so much more?

The thing I was craving then

Was some kind of laboring

So I might find a friend

In all the aching

In my muscles as they hurt

Oh, won’t you put my hands to work to ease my mind?

And you realize in a moment’s grace

You’ve been unraveling the fabric of your coat

And you pick a line down the wall and trace

Until the end

And when you walk back sorry

With a folding body

Like you should

No, I am not gonna die this way

Maybe it was the mold, you see

That was knocking the wall in me

And I forgot just what it was that

I had needed to be

For all the time I’d been given

Maybe I’d forgot what living was now for

And, you realize in a moment’s grace

You might just already be on to something good

And you pick a line down a cord and trace

Because you can

And when it comes back heavy

You’ll be more than ready

Like you should

'Cause I am not gonna die this way

Through a crack in the road, it sprung

The seedling, warm and young

Stretching out for the sun

It’s August and I’m grinnin'

For this time I might be winnin'

As the moving lights that time of year lay still

And as my body changes a pace, I seem to know again

That I am not gonna die this way

Oh, I’ll hold my missus

In a bed of kisses

Like I should

'Cause I am not gonna die this way
