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.



Chours:



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.



Chours:



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 cowards,



I'm afraid of what I might find out.



Chours:



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.
