All this sadness, everywhere I see it Hurt and madness Sometimes I can't believe it It is beyond me how I could have been so blessed In this life less a place a place a joy Than a place of pain for some Let me be the one to say I'm grateful Cause I know it could've been me All alone and roaming on the street Young and hungry with no food to eat It could've been me, could've been me, yeah Going out, another lonely night Needing open arms to hold me tight Praying for someone to understand It could've been me, could've been me, yeah Oh, you're searching for rhyme and reason Of why you're hurting Praying that you'll have your season I realize it is grace that has been on my life To keep me alive and give me the strength to have this faith Let me be the one to say if you need me, I'm here Cause it could've been me (Could've been me) No house, no home (Could've been me) Desperate and so alone (Could've been me) Your burdens to bear (Could've been me) Hurting, in need of prayer I know nothing is the way you want it to go But I know my God and He is in control If you just believe it, He will work it out Work it out for you
