From the album let’s face it
Have you ever been close to tragedy
Or been close to folks who have
Have you ever felt a pain so powerful
So heavy you collapse
I’ve never had to knock on wood
But i know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if i could
It makes me wonder if
I’ve 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 stacked up so high
You need a strength most don’t possess
Or has it ever come down to do or die
You’ve got to rise above the rest
I’ve never had to knock on wood
But i know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if i could
It makes me wonder if
I’ve 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
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
I might be a cowards,
I’m afraid of what i might find out
I’ve never had to knock on wood
But i know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if i could
It makes me wonder if
I’ve 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
