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
