Gravity / Grace

You should have left well enough alone

Think of all the sleeping out here, dreaming of a home

A 30 year mortgage of their own

You should have let us stay healthy

And work our fingers to the bone

So what if it hurts?

We all deserve the right to die for something

But if they let you waste away on the waiting room floor

Just say, "There is no fear in this heart"

You should have said "You'll have to take what you can get,"

Instead of letting us stay desperate

And just work ourselves to death

You should have let us stay healthy

And work our fingers to the bone

So what if it hurts?

So what if the stasis with a gracious smile is all you deserve?

What if the basis for care is what you can afford?

You'll get a permanent place in a public ward

So what if it hurts?

So what if a place in my broken faith is all you deserve?
