Let me in, oh warden of my heart

You're full to the brim, but I've been practicing my part

It floats on the wind tied to an angel's feet

That one day I will meet and thank for you

Again for the first time

I stop at every step

To unhook my baited breath

New grapes on an old vine

I'm tied to who I am

But I'm better with your bends

I recall when you weren't here at all

My engine stalled, like the south without its drawl

Like a charm with no luck, flowing through its veins

A tattoo without the pain, but I want the truth

Again for the first time

I stop at every step

To unhook my baited breath

New grapes on an old vine

I'm tied to who I am

But I'm better with your bends

Amazing Grace never came my way

In its place, I could make the case

That old song had it wrong, the lord could never save

Instead you said be brave and I found my way

Again for the first time

I stop at every step

To unhook my baited breath

New grapes on an old vine

I'm tied to who I am

But I'm better with your bends
