Every time I see a child without a home of his own

Or a woman struggling to feed her family alone

Or an innocent man found guilty with nowhere to go

Who's to blame?



Who's responsible for making sure the farmer gets his rain?

Why is a victim fighting for each day of his life in vain?

Can a man be guilty when his motives are insane?

Who's to blame?



(What can we do?)

I only wish that I could say

I wish that everything bad would up and go away

(How can we help?)

I wish that I knew how

I wish the love would rain down on me now



Grace under pressure

That's what we need to survive

Just to stay alive, just to stay alive

Grace under pressure

Just a little grace when the going gets tough, that's enough



When your mother tells you, your father didn't care

But she never gave you reasons why he was never there

That a wife and a child were not conducing to his plans

Ask who's to blame?



(What can we do?)

I only wish I knew

I wish that everything that's bad would up and go away and leave

(How can we help?)

I only wish I could say

I wish that everything that's bad would up and fly, fly away



Grace under pressure

Fly away

All I need's is a little pressure

All I need's a little grace

Grace under pressure

When the going gets rough that's enough



I'm gonna look to the sky

Grace under pressure

Lift my head up high

Under pressure

Grace, my lord grace

Grace under pressure

Lift your head up to the sky

Grace under pressure
