Some folks always get the rough ride

Seem they end up on the wrong side

Constant battle just to survive on any given day

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 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 I

Everyday 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 rearranged

There'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 I
Sometimes 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 know
There's gotta be some rhyme or reason why
We turn away and we close our eyes
Wish I could some find way
That we could justify all of this suffering
There but for the grace of God go I

So when I'm thinking it's a bad day

Feels like nothing's going my way

Pass a wreck out the on freeway
And pray that they survived

There but for the grace of God go I
