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
