The Impression That I Get

	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 coward
	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
	I've never had to, but I better knock on wood
	'Cos I know someone who has
	Which makes me wonder if I could
	It makes me wonder if
	I've never had to, I better knock on wood
	Because I'm sure it isn't good
	And I'm glad I haven't yet
	That's the impression that I get
