lyrics

every morning
i sit here yawning
with my heart open
to whatever may come

sun shines in the window
no clue which way the day goes
just watch and wait and make my way
until the day is done

all I need is
a way to see and
feel a sense of grace
I can bear the weight of
the day to day when
I feel a sense of grace

outside my door
the world seems harsher than before
but I step on out, push down the doubt
and move into the day

I do believe
what I seek is what I'll see
so I focus on the eyes
and let the forms fall away

all I need is
a way to see and
feel a sense of grace
I can bear the weight of
the day to day when
I feel a sense of grace

I catch it here and there out of the corner of my eye
I can see it in the children, I can see it in the birds as they fly
it's nothing that I'm doing, it's nothing that I've done
it's those simple little moments that help me carry on

smooth as the water flows
that way may I go
clear as an autumn breeze
that way let me be (2x before the final chorus)

all I need is
a way to see and
feel a sense of grace
I can bear the weight of
the day to day when
I feel a sense of grace
