Three Days of Grace
(Tribute to an awesome band that inspired me and my writing greatly)
What if you were given the opportunity to turn your life around? If someone looked you straight in the face when you had no hope left and said: " This is it, my friend... How will you use your three days of grace ? ".
His empty bottle hits the floor.
He just can't take this anymore.
A mirror that reflects his face,
Shows him that he is a disgrace.
He knows what he's doing is wrong,
And he knows that it just can't go on.
He knows he wants his life to shine,
But can he change his life in time?
Don't stand here and tell me it's too late.
Don't stand here and tell me this is your fate.
If you had three days grace,
How would you use it?
Don't stand here and tell me this life is for you.
Don't stand here and tell me what you can't do.
If you had three days, to change your life,
Could you do it?
Her bloody knife hits the ground.
She feels like she's chained and bound.
Every time she cuts her wrist,
She thinks that she's hurting him.
The pain inside her heart is real,
But she just wants her scars to heal.
She knows she wants her life to shine,
But can she change her life in time?
Don't stand here and tell me it's too late.
Don't stand here and tell me this is your fate.
If you had three days grace,
How would you use it?
Don't stand here and tell me this life is for you.
Don't stand here and tell me what you can't do.
If you had three days, to change your life,
Could you do it?
The innocent youth cries in pain,
Being told he's in the way.
A father's fist upon his skin
Shows what he thinks of him.
No one is gonna save his life
Unless he calls for help tonight.
He knows he wants his life to shine,
But can he change his life in time?
Don't stand here and tell me it's too late.
Don't stand here and tell me this is your fate.
If you had three days grace,
How would you use it?
Don't stand here and tell me this life is for you.
Don't stand here and tell me what you can't do.
If you had three days, to change your life,
Could you do it?
See, the past will haunt us , until we start hauling the pain overboard into the universe. Young child, break free of your chains, let's the worries go, your life is yours alone, in this new world you're discovering, you can do anything, just reach out and the world is yours !
