Rewrite This Tragedy

by Sara Groves

Tonight I forgot a line in the play
That you and I have been rehearsing
Since the day we met
It made me put down my script
And made me look around a bit
Wonder how we came to play these roles

I'm here to rewrite this tragedy
One line at a time
Hold on, I'm changing all the scenery
It's okay, we'll be fine
'Cause we know how this ends
We know there's a better story

Sometimes it's hard to tell
What to keep and what to kill
What of this makes us who we are
All that we love the most
All that we cannot let go
How much of change can we survive?

There's a better story
Of true love, of true grace
There's the hope of glory
And our first chance to be truly brave
It's the place we're going
When we can't stay where we are
