Some folks always get the rough ride
Seem they end up on the wrong side
Constant battle just to survive on any given dayWatched a mother on my TV
Hungry children that she can't feed
Still I've got everything that I need
And that just don't seem right
That I sleep safe tonightThere's gotta be some rhyme or reason why
We turn away and we close our eyes
Wish I could find some way
That we could justify all of this suffering
There but for the grace of God go IEveryday it makes the headlines
Someone struggling for their lives
Feels like I'm watching from the sidelines
When nothing ever changed
Just the truth got rearrangedThere's gotta be some rhyme or reason why
We turn away and we close our eyes
Wish I could find some way
That we could justify all of this suffering
There but for the grace of God go ISometimes it's hard to believe
In a truth that we can't even see
But faith holds the hope for the world
And I know, I knowThere's gotta be some rhyme or reason why
We turn away and we close our eyes
Wish I could find some way
That we could justify all of this suffering
There but for the grace of God go ISo when I'm thinking it's a bad day
Feels like nothing's going my way
Pass a wreck out on the freeway
And pray that they survived
There but for the grace of God go I
