Verse 1
I can hear the neighbors, the're arguing again
the're hasn't been peace on our street since
who knows when
I don't mean to listen in but the shouting is so loud
I turn up the radio to drown it out
and silently I say a little prayer
Chorus
but for the grace of God go I
I must of been born a lucky guy
heaven only knows how I've been blessed
with the gift of your love
I look around and all I see
is your happiness embracing me
oh lord I'd be lost
but for the grace of God
Verse 2
I can see that old man
he's walking past our door
I've been told that he's rich
but he seems so poor
'cause no one comes to call on him
and his phone it never rings
he wonders through his empty home
surrounded by his things
and silently I say a little prayer (yes I do)
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Intro
I look around and all I see
is your happiness embracing me
oh lord I'd be lost
but for the grace of God
oh lord I'd be lost
but for the grace of God
