Troubled World Lyrics

Me an my brother, hot dusty day
Pickin peas from the vine
Where the honey bees play
Stealin fresh fruit from the garden out there
Never a worry and never a care

But it didn't stay that way in my troubled world

Deliverin papers in the city heatI heard the cry of the jungle,
Stingin lead an concrete
They were screamin for justice, burnin downtown
I felt the frustration comin fast and loud

But it didn't stay that way in my troubled world

I marched and I shouted, I listened and thought
Surrendered to despair an the drugs I bought
Buyin and sellin a world of pain Tried to take my life in a winter's rain

But it didn't stay that way in my troubled world

Somebody told me when I was young
That this troubled world was honestly loved
Bought and paid for by a Sacrifice
My innocence lost, my soul on iceWhat a cruel cruel joke, what a great mistake
Of the lonely years and the mess I made
And that night I cried and I named that name
For He loved me so though we'd been so estranged

But it didn't stay that way in my troubled world
Glad to say it didn't stay that way
In my troubled world
