There But For The Grace Of God Lyrics - The Alan Parsons Project

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
