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

Ive never had to knock on wood

But I know someone who has

Which makes me wonder if i could

It makes me wonder if

Ive never had to knock on wood

And Im glad i havent yet

Because Im sure it isnt good

thats the impression that I get

have you ever had the odds stacked up so high

You need a strength most dont possess

Or has it ever come down to do or die

Youve got to rise above the rest

Ive never had to knock on wood

But I know someone who has

Which makes me wonder if i could

It makes me wonder if

Ive never had to knock on wood

And Im glad I havent yet

Because Im sure it isnt good

thats the impression that I get

Im not a coward,

Ive just never been tested

Id like to think that if I was,

I would pass

Look at the tested and think there but for the grace go

I might be a coward,

Im afraid of what I might find out

Ive never had to knock on wood

But I know someone who has

Which makes me wonder if i could

It makes me wonder if

Ive never had to knock on wood

And Im glad i havent yet

Because Im sure it isnt good

Thats the impression that I get
