"Have you ever been close to tragedy?
Close to folks who have
Have you ever felt a pain so powerful?
So heavy you collaspe?

((No..well))
Chorus:
I never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
And makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if I
Never had to knock on wood
And I'm glad I haven't yet
Because I'm sure it isn't good
That's the impression that I get.

Have you ever had the odds to look so high
You need the strength most don't posses
Or has it ever come down to do or die
You have to rise above the rest
((No...well))

Chorus

I'm not a coward
I've just never been tested
I'd like to think that if I was I would pass
Look at the tested and think there but for the grace go on
I might be a coward
I'm afraid of what I might find out.

Chorus
