save something for grace

midnight at the stroke of noon
when the lights go down
and it's you against you
quiet eyes in a blaze of shame
like a beast of burden you could never tame

we try to be holy without being human first...

save something for grace
she's raising the sky
save something for faith
there's hope still in her eyes
save something for grace

hopeless one, can't you see
past your bitter heart
because you mean the world to me
moonlight's never been so near
you came into this world
with a ransom for your fears

we try to be holy without being human first...

save something for grace
she's raising the sky
save something for faith
there's hope still in her eyes
save something for grace

we live as though mercy were frail
and forgiveness merely a tale
we condemn ourselves to a fault
when we fail, when we fall
we find we're human after all

save something for grace
she's raising the sky
save something for faith
there's hope still in her eyes
save something for grace...
