grace of god - Clay Aiken

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
If I could find some way that we could justify all of this suffering
There but for the grace of God go I
Mother Earth is down on her knees
Poison rivers run to dead seas
Cities eating up the green fields
We never question why
How truth turns into lies
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
If 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
