Captaincy - Amazing Grace [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Tell me that I can't, I'll do my best to prove your accusation false
I could talk before I walked and now I'm flying with the hawks
Up and away
Past the troubles don't look back or double take
Cause when you're in the ring of life, she rarely hits above the waist
I'm in the midst of all the hate
In the mist but still I wade
Hope the waters would recede as I step on through the lake of fate
In a way it's sort of eerie how the cold wind leaves me teary
I ain't old but I'm weary
I won't succumb to fear because I won't let it near me
And I'm hoping that you hear me
From the sidelines, cheer, don't jeer me
Open my eyes and I see clearly
Mental note: it reads Dear Me
Greetings
I know you feel exposed but you'll be way more ashamed at saving face
Stay in your lane and claim this race
Otherwise, each day's a waste
So listen while you lay awake
And bathe in the Amazing Grace

Chorus (Michele):
How sweet the sound
It takes my feet off the ground
From where I was, to where I am now
Its what I've been dreaming about

Verse 2:
Every move that I make is deliberate
There's a reason so specific
That I get up on the mic and rip it
Usually we forget a dream when we get up out of bed, but I get to live it
Now I'm in the place where I dreamt; and now its more than lucid
I'm moving fluid
Proof is you can't ignore the music
See, I had to pause and look up at the mountain in my path
After I made it to the top I looked down and laughed
Kept stepping and I made it the promised land
Honest man
I do this for the looks on the faces of the folks who said I should stay away
But I know I can't perform on this stage if I stay afraid
So I swallowed the torch, my belly got a blazing flame
So knock me down, you know my name remains
I was a slave to the pain
And I wish that the chains would break
So I could get away
And bathe in the Amazing Grace

Chorus (Michele):
How sweet the sound
It takes my feet off the ground
From where I was, to where I am now
Its what I've been dreaming about

Verse 3:
Every uphill climb got a downhill to follow
It could be later on it might be tomorrow
It might be steep, terrain real tough
But I'mma make it, stand tall check how I measure up
I'm the ruler of my future
Up early with the roosters
This life ain't what I'm used to
But I'mma keep on trekking through
Cause, my boots fit tight
It's a moonlit night
It's shining bright
Through the skies telling me to do it right
I got some skills to utilize in this life before I'm eulogized
And if I don't, or if I slip, I swear I'm gonna lose my mind
So I'mma hold it close while I'm laying in this bed awake
Thinking about the granted I was given so I'll never take
So until I'm reaching heaven's gates
I'll do my best to demonstrate the best way
To take the game, check and mate
Then I can bathe in the Amazing Grace

Chorus (Michele):
How sweet the sound
It takes my feet off the ground
From where I was, to where I am now
Its what I've been dreaming about
