Song Description

Learning from your mistakes

Lyrics

Saving Grace

I don?t defend the things I?ve done
It just starts sounding like excuses
So many stories have rolled off my tongue
I forget now what the truth is
We make our choices to survive this world
And spend our time trying to justify the reasons
I used to say I?ve half an Irishman?s luck
Just for something to believe in
But you don?t need to listen to me
I?m no example of how things should be
Don?t take it all on faith
God know I?ve made mistakes
Enough they almost buried me in my place
Till I learned that they can be, my saving grace
You see I?ve learned a thing or two
Even though it was the hard way
Now it scares me to think of what?s in store for you
But everybody?s got to find their own way
I wouldn?t blame you if you turned and walked away
I know I haven?t always been who I say
But don?t take it all on faith, everybody make mistakes
But they don?t need to bury you in your place
If you learn that they can be, your saving grace
?Cause I?m not sure I can show you
When it gets hard to tell right from wrong
I only hope that if I give you
All my love, somehow you?ll know
?Cause you?ve still time to make sense of it
Spend your time just how you chose it
But you don?t have to give up your innocence
Just be careful how you lose it
Now you don?t need to pay me no mind
Heed what I say or leave it behind
But don?t take it all on faith
Go ahead now, make your mistakes
And from the ashes you will rise and say
These lessons shall be my saving grace
