Someday on This Side of Grace

[Intro — signature Holler Side-Step G6 G13sus4 C9 Cm6 G6, slow soulful electric guitar] [Verse 1] I kept a list of all the things I couldn't understand The ones who turned away from me, the ways life changed my plans I wore that list like winter, kept it folded in my coat Till every time I tried to sing, it caught inside my throat [Chorus] Someday on this side of grace I'll learn to love the road I'm on I don't have to win each argument Or keep a score of every wrong I'm setting down the weight I held And giving all my fears a place To fall like leaves into the earth Someday on this side of grace [Verse 2] The morning found me sitting where the first birds come to sing I realized an open hand can hold a finer thing Than all that bitter certainty I dragged from mile to mile And peace walked in without a word and stayed there for a while [Chorus] Someday on this side of grace I'll learn to love the road I'm on I don't have to win each argument Or keep a score of every wrong I'm setting down the weight I held And giving all my fears a place To fall like leaves into the earth Someday on this side of grace [Instrumental — Side-Step minor turnaround on organ, blues harmonica solo] [Bridge — piano stripped, solo male] Maybe that someday is today Maybe it starts with letting go I don't need to know how every chapter ends To let the next page show [Final chorus — warm full band] Right here on this side of grace I'm learning to love the road I'm on I don't have to win each argument And I won't keep count of wrong My hands are free, my heart can rest The sunrise finds a quieter place I'm finally walking with my eyes up Right here on this side of grace [End]
