Some folks always get the rough ride
Seem they end up on the wrong side
Constant battle just to survive on any given day
I watched 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 tonight
There's got to 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 I
Every day it makes the headlines
Someone struggling for their lives
Feels like I'm watchin from the side lines
Where nothing ever changed
Just the truth got re-arranged
There's got to be some rhyme or reason why
We turn away and we close our eyes
If I could find some way that we could justify all of this suffering
There but for the grace of God go I
Sometimes it's hard to believe
In a truth that you can't even see
But faith holds the hope for the world
And I know, I know
There's got to 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 I
When I'm thinking it's a bad day
Feels like nothing's going my way
I pass a wreck out on the freeway
And I pray that they survived
There but for the grace of God go I
