lyrics

THERE BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD GO I



Look at life

And The vacant skies

The days we’ve lived

And The healing cry

To see the wounded

Live and die



There but for the grace of God go I x2



Who gave the bird wings to fly?

Who gave us the will

to get by

For those that can’t

Even try



There but for the grace of God go I x2



We love each other

When we’re apart

And we run for cover

When we let down our defenses and open up our heart

And we’re gonna make it out tonight

To give a little love

And hold a little light x2



Come back home

At least give it a try

Question nothing

Or ask everybody why

To see the broken

And realize

there but for the grace of God go I x 3



We love each other

When we’re apart

And we run for cover

When we let down our defenses and open up our heart

And we’re gonna make it out tonight

To give a little love

And hold a little light x4
