[Verse 1] Grace works down at WalMart For thirteen years shes punched that clock Been ten weeks without a day off She never gave it too much thought Until one morning in the mirror Two new lines opened her eyes And suddenly it hit her She still had the wings to fly Attention late night shoppers A two for one on broken chains [Chorus] Thats the state of grace Its the weak made strong Its finding what youre missing Was right there all along Its an open road to a better place Its a life worth living In the state of grace [Verse 2] Grace cleaned out her bank account Bought a beat up camper truck Turned her pink slip into personnel Then tore her time card up As she drove away she wondered What New York City would be like And would the stars really keep you up On a clear desert night With a front seat full of road maps To help her lose her way [Chorus] [Bridge] Grace knew when she looked up There wouldnt be a sky If the dreams weve been given Werent supposed to fly [Outro] Its an open road to a better place Its a life worth living In the state of grace Its a life worth living In the state of grace
