Willing Lyrics

I wake with the wings of morning to the light of a new day.
Now my eyes are open.

Through the darkest times, I find you.
I find you.

Chorus
Cover me with your hands.
Make me see all I am.
Though I fall, I’m willing.

I could break, fall back into sorrow,
Give me life, make my faith much stronger.
Now my eyes are open.

Though I feel I’m lost (I feel I’m lost),
I find a way (I find a way), I find a way to you.

Chorus

Guitar Solo

This system now, no longer will I wait my time,
Candles fade, there’ll be days of grace.

I’d give it all, I’d give it all, to see redemption.

Final Chorus
Cover me with your hands (With your hands).
Make me see all I am (All I am).
Though I stumble (Though I stumble),
Though I fall, I’ll live for you.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Leach has always been consistent with including his faith in certain songs since he began his musical career. Temple From the Within, off the Killswitch Engage album Alive or Just Breathing, is another example of what almost seems like a prayer made into music. In fact, he referenced being covered by the hand of God (you cover me with the shadow of your hand) much like he has in Willing (cover me with your hand) with Times of Grace. To me this seems like a no-brainer. He knows that he makes mistakes and sins (though I fall) but he's letting God know that he's willing to live for him. He knows that he could just let his faith go (fall back into sorrow) but he also knows that he can always find God if he looks and is asking him to strengthen his faith. Whatever your interpretation you have to admit, this song rocks.
