Some folks always get the rough ride
Seem to 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

Chorus:
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 just defy all of this suffering
There but by the grace of God, go I

Everyday it makes the headlines
Someone's struggling for their lives
Feels like I'm watching from the sidelines
Where nothing every changes
Just the truth got re-arranged

Chorus:
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 just defy all of this suffering
There but by the grace of God, go I

Sometimes it's hard to believe
That the truth we can't even see
But faith holds a hope for the world
And I know, I know

Chorus:
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 just defy all of this suffering
There but by 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 on the freeway
And pray that they survived
There but by the grace of God, go I
