This Present State of Grace
Embracing Life's Ironies: A Tribute to Resilience
Lyrics
In this present state of grace
In the current condition of divine favor
I hold my head up high
I maintain my self-esteem
Though the water damage froze
Despite the damage caused by water
Another flood will soon be by
Anticipating another flood in the near future
Here and now is all we'll be
The present moment is all that exists
So it's this present state of grace I offer thee
So, I offer you this current state of grace
Welcome home to the men
Welcome back to the men and women who defend
And the women who defend
Returning to their lives after being betrayed by government lies
Back to their lives and the lies
Resuming their lives and dealing with falsehoods
Shat on them by government
The lies imposed on them by the government
Through the barbs and the pokes
Through criticism and attacks
And the ones we'd like to choke
Referring to those who provoke anger
It's this present state of grace I offer thee
Offering this present state of grace
In this present state of grace
In this current state of divine favor
A poor man robbed me blind
A poor man took advantage of me
Though I offered him the cash
Even when I offered him money
He said 'don't insult my pride'
He refused, protecting his pride
To each their own
Respecting individual choices
We're just flesh and bone
We are all mortal beings
An this present state of grace I offer thee
Presenting this state of grace to you
In this present state of grace
In this current state of divine favor
I saw the wall capsize
Witnessing the collapse of a wall
And through the banks they fell
As they fell through the banks into the rising tide
Into the swelling tide
Symbolizing the consequences of financial instability
Let them eat cake
Indicating a lack of remorse for mistakes
For our mistakes
For our errors, let them indulge in luxury
And this present state of grace I offer thee
Offering this state of grace
So let's sing goodbye to Auld Lang Syne
Saying farewell to the past
Under the carpet, sweep behind
Hidden truths beneath the surface
Where passengers making turns
Where people navigate towards an impending division
Towards the coming great divide
A reference to a significant societal split
The true prophet never spoke
A genuine prophet remains silent
He just smiled and saw the joke
Smiling at the irony of life
And this present state of grace I offer thee
Offering this state of grace
'Cause only life, yeah only life has loneliness to sell
Life is the only thing that can make one feel lonely
So celebrate, yeah live your life, live it and raise hell
Celebrate and live life boldly
The true prophet never spoke
Reiterating the silence of true prophets and the irony of life
He just smiled and saw the joke
Smiling at the irony and offering the needed state of grace
And this present state of grace we creatures need
Emphasizing that creatures like us require this state of grace
Yeah, it's this present state of grace we creatures need
Reiterating the need for the present state of grace for creatures
