Glenn Kaiser - 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 heat I 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 didnt stay that way in my troubled world I marched and I shouted, I listened and thought Surrendered to despair an' the d** 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 ice What 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 didnt stay that way in my troubled world Glad to say it didn t stay that way In my troubled world
