Lyrics

Walking on the cracks that were once friends to me
Taking it all in looking back where'd it all go right for me?
Now I see the same ones struggling just to get by

There but for the grace of God go I
Looking for a place to sleep as we just drive on by
There but for the grace of God go I
Don't you turn the other cheek and keep on walking by

Thank your lucky stars, that you're not, in their shoes
it could be so different, when you think, fate could deal a bad hand
You could be swapping places, look me in the eye and tell me

There but for the grace of God go I
Looking for a place to sleep as we just drive on by
There but for the grace of God go I
Don't you turn the other cheek and keep on walking by

Could you make the difference?
Don't let them fall through the cracks
You could make the difference I know I know I know I know

Next time you're in town, you could stop, spend some time
having conversation, you'll be glad, and you'll start to wonder
the things that are important, are the things you don't even think about

There but for the grace of God go I
Looking for a place to sleep as we just drive on by
There but for the grace of God go I
Don't you turn the other cheek and keep on walking by

There but for the grace of God go I
Looking for a place to sleep as we just drive on by
There but for the grace of God go I
Don't you turn the other cheek and keep on walking by

You cannot go wrong with a song about GOD and his grace!

What a beautiful, melancholic, and pensive melody! With it's lovely airy instrumentation and arrangement and it's message, this sounds like a lovely nod to Phil Collins' "Another Day in Paradise," but make no mistake, this tune and its words are unique and original. There's a lot of room for thoughtful, socially conscious, sensitive, great songs like these.

I like the underlying pocket of the song. The groove provides a good places to start. I like that the lyric is generic and just speaks to all people in a general way. The messages a good one of what I call, doing the next right thing.

Nice vibe. Good harmonies. Overall good job.

The chords and instrumentation all have a lot of potential, the message seemed to be very inspirational as well. The execution has a laid back cool kinda of vibe that matches the feeling of peace I think the song is conveying.

loved the music easy listening relaxing

The instrumentation keeps me hooked when listen to this. The stereo vocals are a nice touch, too. I love the 808 snare, or at least that's what I think it is. I like the hook as well as the laid-back feel of the track as a whole. It has an 80s feel with the keys but it also has a more modern feel with the way it's sung.

i like the soft, mellow tone to this song. hand clapping is effective, mix is good, bass is not quite clear enough---eq can fix this, fills on the keys are subtle and effetive

I really like the feel of the keys... very smooth. Also very nice with the group vocals in the chorus. The verse melody is nice too :)

I like the vocals and instrumentation is good and recording is clear. As I listen to the song more I do like the groove too.

OH!--so NICE--I LIKE--I LIKE!--thanxs--joe

Very pleasant song.
