Feels like I'm watching from the sidelines
Someone struggling for their lives
That we could justify all of this suffering
Wish I could find some way
There but for the grace of God go I
Constant battle just to survive on any given day
There's gotta be some rhyme or reason why
Sometimes it's hard to believe
There but for the grace of God go I

And that just don't seem right
Watched a mother on my TV
Wish I could find some way
That we could justify all of this suffering
There but for the grace of God go I
There's gotta be some rhyme or reason why

Everyday it makes the headlines
Still I've got everything that I need
That we could justify all of this suffering

When nothing ever changed
Just the truth got rearranged
Feels like nothing's going my way
That I sleep safe tonight
We turn away and we close our eyes
Pass a wreck out on the freeway

We turn away and we close our eyes

In a truth that we can't even see
And pray that they survived
So when I'm thinking it's a bad day
There but for the grace of God go I
We turn away and we close our eyes
Wish I could find some way

There's gotta be some rhyme or reason why
Hungry children that she can't feed
But faith holds the hope for the world
And I know, I know
