[Verse 1]
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?
[Pre-Chorus]
No? Well, I
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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 got to rise above the rest
[Pre-Chorus]
No? Well, I
[Chorus]
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
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
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 coward, I'm afraid of what I might find out
[Chorus]
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
[Interlude]
[Outro]
I've never had to, but I'd better knock on wood
'Cause I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if I've
Never had to, but I'd 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
