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 Hung her 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 Every day it makes the headlines Someone's struggling for their lives Feels like I'm watching from the sidelines Where 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 The 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 find some 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 on the freeway And pray that they survived There but for the grace of God go I
