The Impression That I Get Lyrics

Have you ever been close to tragedy
Or close to folks who have?
Have you ever felt a pain so powerful
So heavy you collapse?
No, well

(Chorus)
I 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
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 to look 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
(Chorus)

I'm not a coward, I've just never been tested
I like to think that if I was, I would pass
I might be tested, never for the grace the while
Might be a coward, I'm afraid of what I might find out
(Chorus)

Never had, I better knock on wood
'Cause I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if I should
It makes me wonder if I
Never had, I 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
