[Verse 1]
I step out past the porch
Where the weeds touch my boots
The sky is a black salt river
Spilled over the fields
One porch light behind me
And a million up there
I stand there real small
Still asking for more
[Pre-Chorus]
Who built all that distance?
Who left those sparks on fire?
If I can’t hold the answers
I can still hold the wire
[Chorus]
Black night grace
Black night grace
You make me small
You make me brave
Black night grace
Black night grace
I close my eyes
And drift away
[Verse 2]
There’s a map in my chest
Made of roads I ain’t walked
A town I ain’t seen
A life I ain’t lost
I keep one hand on wonder
One hand on the gate
If the world stays a mystery
Let me meet it awake
[Pre-Chorus]
Who built all that distance?
Who set the dark in gold?
If I can’t touch forever
I can still reach for more
[Chorus]
Black night grace
Black night grace
You make me small
You make me brave
Black night grace
Black night grace
I close my eyes
And drift away
[Bridge]
Maybe that’s the lesson
Standing under the sky
You don’t have to know it all
To keep your fire alive
So I leave the porch behind me
Let the cold air carry me
If sleep comes like a soft rain
Let it fall over me
[Chorus]
Black night grace
Black night grace
You make me small
You make me brave
Black night grace
Black night grace
I close my eyes
And drift away
