Grace Under Fire Lyrics

Grace Under Fire

I've seen them run, I've seen them broken

 I've seen them fold without a word even spoken

 Oh, all it takes is a little fire

 Well, they watch your eyes, they learn your weakness

 They turn it up, and you know 

 The lean is on, the lean is on

 Oh, sooner or later, you're gonna catch heat

 There's no use running away

 Everything hurries to eat or be eaten, they say



 Oh, Papa was right, nothing rates higher 

 The coolest of cool is grace under fire



 Back in the shadows there's the law of the city

 Work on the one who shows the first sign of pity

 I know, I know

 Well, they knock on your door, and they call out your number

 And your legs won't move, and you heart starts running

 You'll know, you'll know



 Oh, Papa was right, nothing rates higher 

 The coolest of cool is grace under fire

 

 You've got to be the diamond, you've got to be the steel

 The lucky have ice in their veins, 

 They laugh at the devil

 And burn like a torch in the rain



 Oh, The Jesus was cool, no one bet higher

 The measure of heart is grace under fire
