Sarah traded her laughter for guilt
There's no hope left in her eyes
And the sentence for the wrong she's done
Is a lonely life
And we ask what has she done
As if that could make it ok
It's amazing what comfort we find in distance
Put yourself in her place

CHORUS:
We all need forgiveness
We all need a second chance
We all need to be giv'n grace

Well, Deacon's got it all figured out
At least that's the way it seems
And he proudly wears his victories around on his sleeve
He's the first to point his finger
When others don't measure up
God forbid he ever has to drink
From his bitter cup

BRIDGE:
I've messed up so many times It's my past that I'm haunted by
If I'm ever going to truly live
Grace I must accept, grace I must give
Grace I must give
