The Impression That I Get

Have you ever been close to tragedy
Or been close to folks who have
Have you ever felt a pain so powerful
So heavy you collapse
CHORUS:
I've never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if
I've never had to knock on wood
And I'm glad I haven't yet
Because I'm sure it isn't good
That's the impression that I get

Have you ever had the odds stacked up so high
You need a strength most don't posses
Or has it ever come down to do or die
You've got to rise above the rest

Chorus

I'm not a coward, I've just never been tested
I'd like to think that if I was, I would pass
Look at the tested and think but for the grace go I
Might be a coward, I'm afraid of what I might find out

Chorus
