1. The Impression That I Get

   Lyrics: The Impression That I Get

   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
   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
   
   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
   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've never had to, but I better knock on wood
   'Cause I know someone who has
   Which makes wonder if I could
   It makes me wonder if I've
   Never had to, 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
