If you should meet some lonely soul   Who on this earth can't reach his gold   And he's travelin' down the road so dark and dim      Lend the hand, say a prayer   Give a smile that he might share   But for the grace of God it could be you instead of him   (But for the grace of God it could be you instead of him)      Befriend each stranger in the night   Help to make his burdens light   Lift up the fallin' ones and be a friend   (Be a friend)      Shed a tear, share a sight   Share his fears don't pass him by   But for the grace of God it could be you instead of him   (It could be you instead of him)      Shed a tear, share a sigh   Share his fears don't pass him by   But for the grace of God it could be you instead of him   (It could be you instead of him)
