By Amazing Grace (rough cut) (Patreon)

Here's another song from the In the 'Verse podcast. This song was inspired by the episode "Heart of Gold". It's a song about what makes a real man is. It was inspired by the strength of the Firefly women in the episode and by the burial scene of Nandi when one of the women sings "Amazing Grace". 

By Amazing Grace

"By Amazing Grace" lyrics and music Marc Gunn

He was an alpha male,And like a strong gale, He blew thru your life without regret.Left destruction and pain.Then came back againTo hurt you and leave you upset

But he rushed to your sideWhen he heard you cry, Like a cowboy tho he caused your distress.You ain't a lady in need.So he better take heed.You’ll destroy him in your purty dress.

By amazing grace, you don’t need him.It’s amazing he didn't know he was wrong.The true measure of a manIs how willing he is to standBy the side of a woman who’s strong.

With a little bit o' force,He laid out a course To show you that he was righteous.But you saw through the routine.You knew he was just meanThough he tried to pretend he was pious.

Yes monsters are real,  Especially when they feelThat their actions are justified by God.But you ain’t looking to run.And you’re my kind of dumb. You’ll lay him right down in the sod.
