Some Kinda Grace

from Some Kinda Grace by Vanessa Forero

about

Written upon the news that my uncle had got out of prison in Colombia. He'd served his time, walked out free...a new man.

lyrics

Take a leaf from my book
And fill it up with some kindness and good cause
I took liberties and left behind pain
But life has some kind of grace

Take me to church
Take me to court
Cause I’ve been sinning
And slinging the laws
But maybe God wrote off my wicked ways
Or life has some kind of grace

Oh but there’s heaven in me
Take it from those who raised me
I wasn’t born so wild or deceiving
I’ve done my time and been behind bars
Now I’m a changed man back at the start

I took a step towards fear
You can call it courage if it’s how it appears
I’m walking free a little weak at the knees
Cause second chances are hard to receive
Now I believe I will believe
That I’m forgiven and that I am free
Though I know I don’t deserve to be given this place
But life has some kind of grace

Oh but there’s heaven in me
Take it from those who raised me
I wasn’t born so wild or deceiving
I’ve done my time and I’ve been behind bars
Now I’m a changed man back at the start

Now I believe I believe I believe
That I’m forgiven though it’s hardest from me
Though I know I don’t deserve to be given this place
But life has some kind of grace
Oh life has some kind of grace
Oh life has some kind of grace
