lyrics: When a good man dies and everyone around him is reduced to tears
It is difficult to see the sense, it is difficult to know why
When there's food to eat but we still see people starving to death
Where have we gone so wrong? How can we hide away?

We are scrabbling through the dark, the world is crying out for answers
I'm falling on my knees - Lord, come; illuminate this madness

You are the one thing that makes sense
You are the one that I rely upon
And when this world doesn't make sense
It is you that I count on

When a marriage falls apart and you find yourself living on the streets
With a needle in your vein and a hole in your heart
When you've turned to drink because life's become unbearable
Anything to numb your mind and anything to numb your heart

And though we cannot do the maths
I know that your way is perfect and your way is right
And I'll strive for justice - keep my paths straight, Lord
Straight through the narrow gate to paradise

You are the one thing
