Dark alleys where they never crept
Where garbage was kept
That's where she slept
Nobody gave a damn about her
They could do without her
The sight of her, the scent
She always smiled when they passed her by
Kept her laughs and cries tucked away inside
They never stopped on the avenue
Til they found her black and blue
From the hatred and the cold
What will we do with lowest among us?
The ones who've been dealt the coldest deck
Will we atone for their vanishing face?
There but for the grace
Go I, go I, go I
There but for the grace
Go I, go I, go I
There but for the grace
They tried to bury seeds they'd never know
We'd turn into trees, yes we would grow
Every breath they took was from our branches
We would heal the land it's impossible to own
We always thrived though they knocked us down
Tried to stop the sound of a sacred tribe
We will forgive but never forget
How you played Russian roulette
With our stories with our souls
What will we do with lowest among us?
The ones who've been dealt the coldest deck
Will we atone for their vanishing face?
There but for the grace
Go I, go I, go I
There but for the grace
Go I, go I, go I
There but for the grace
They say he got no ambition
He's just sick of pretending
Them checks every two weeks are no longer fulfilling
Makin' it rain don't take the pain
He's disengaged from the war for which he pays
His tax dollars bomb Syria he reads while eating cereal
Looking in the mirror, all that stares back is hysteria
Looking for a miracle, never been political
Human life ain't politics so now he's on a mission
If he quits his job how will he pay his mama's rent
They're already gentrifying, he's vying for every cent
Wanna be a global citizen, locally they're killing him
