A message to your heart

Half the world is hungry

Just through being born

And every day is a compromise

For a grain of corn

And half the world have too much

Their only hunger is their greed

Through politics and ignorance

Half the world's in need

A message to your heart, it's all right

Say a little prayer and sleep tonight, oh...

Tomorrow you'll still be in paradise, oh...

A message to your heart, walk on by

Till you hear the voice of conscience cry, oh...

There but for the grace of God, go I

Half the world is lucky

Born in paradise

But they don't see the children

With hunger in their eyes

And the time has come for changes

Though for some it's much too late

There's got to be an answer

The hungry cannot wait

A message to your heart, it's all right

Say a little prayer and sleep tonight, oh...

Tomorrow you'll still be in paradise, oh...

A message to your heart, walk on by

Until you hear the voice of conscience cry, oh...

There but for the grace of God, go I

Oh... a message to your heart, walk on by

Till you hear the voice of conscience cry, oh...

There but for the grace of God, go I

There but for the grace of God, go I

(A message to your heart)

There but for the grace of God, go I - words uttered by John Bradford while imprisoned in the Tower of London, when he saw a criminal going to execution for his crimes. It refers to the distinct possibility that, if only a bare few occurrences had been different, our own reality would have walked the same path as this reality.
