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?
No, well...
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?
No, well...
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 coward, but I'm afraid of what I might find out
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
Never had to, I'd better knock on wood, 'cause I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if I could, it makes me wonder if
I've never had to, I'd better knock on wood 'cause I'm sure it isn't good
And I'm glad I haven't yet, that's the impression that I get
