Glenn Kaiser Album: You Made The Difference in Me Track: Troubled World
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
