Some folks always get the rough ride
D                       A     G
Seem they end up on the wrong side
D                       A          Em        A
Constant battle just to survive on any given day

I watched a mother on my TV
D                        A     G
Hungry children that she can't feed
D                              A G
Still I've got everything that I need
    Em                   A
And that just don't seem right

There but for the grace of God go I

Someone struggling for their lives

Feels like I'm watching from the sidelines
     Em           A
When nothing ever changed
         Em             A
Just the truth got rearranged

Sometimes it's hard to believe
G                   A          
In a truth that you can't even see
Bm                  A
But faith holds the hope for the world
G
And I know, I know

                  D    A        G      A
There's got to be some rhyme or reason why

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

I pass a wreck out on the freeway
      Em                 A
And I pray that they survived
                                  D
There but for the grace of God go I
