I was thinking that maybe it meant "well" as in when Jesus was mentioning that it is not the well that need a physician, but the sick...
grace make your way to the well
to those who deserve it
after all theyve earned it
but vain, its in vain
cause they dont need it
Those who think they can make it to heaven, those who think they're better than others based on how 'holy' they are. They don't need grace, or rather, don't recognize or feel the need for it. It's in vain.
The song might be addressing how a lot of people that commit themselves so completely to religious obedience and a standard of 'holiness' that they forget about what it means to be gracious and compassionate. And, at the sametime, the song is sort of a prayer of grace for those that are self-righteous.

just my two cents.
