There But For The Grace Of God Lyrics

An anthem to the human condition


Lead Vocal: John Miles


What kind of madness rule the world today

What earthly reason holding sway

There is no heaven at all

For some may weep

And some may sleep

While some may rise

And some may fall

No one is an island

No one born alone

No man can turn the tide of fortune on his own

Though some may dare to try

Say there but for the grace of God go you my friend

Say there but for the grace of God go I

Go I

And so we live in lives of fantasy

And dream of dreams that hold the key

And we follow like sheep

We thread the path

That leads to Thee

We seek the soul that is not ours to keep

No one is an island

No one born alone

No man can turn the tide of fortune on his own

Though some may dare to try

Say there but for the grace of God go you my friend

Say there but for the grace of God go I

Go I
