sam’s song
words and song by Okwui Okpokwasili
music by Peter Born

Grace

I thought the day was a stranger to night

Then there they were

Standing right beside each other

fingers intertwined

just like grace

wasn’t that grace

I ask for grace

Grace

Show me grace grace

I’m chasing the dawn

And falling headlong into twilight

I hope with grace

in the light of grace

grace

Even entangled in light

I’m not a stranger to the night

I’m not a stranger tonight

Could that be grace

Show me grace

I’m chasing the dawn

And falling headlong into twilight

With some grace

I hope with grace

In the light of grace

Show me grace

I thought the day was a stranger to night

Then there they were

standing right beside each other

fingers intertwined

isn’t that grace?

wasn’t that grace?
