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
 No well...
 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 cowards,
 I'm afraid of what I might find out
 I've never had to knock on wood
 But I know someone who has
 Whoch 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
