Tryin' Times
What the world is talking about
We've got confusion all over the land
We've got mother against daughter
We've got father against son
The whole thing's getting out of hand
Oh Many Folks Won't Have To Suffer
If There Was No Love For Your Brother
For These Are Tryin' Times
We Got The Riots In The Ghetto That's All Around
A Whole Lot Of Things That's Wrong Going Down
I Can't Understand It From My Point Of View
Cause I Think You Should Do Unto Others As You Would
Then Many Folks Won't Have To Suffer
If There Was No Love For Your Brother
For These Are Tryin' Times
Man Is Always Talking
About His Inhumanity To Man
But What Is He Trying
To Do To Make It A Better Land
Just Read The Papers
Turn On The Tv
You see folks demonstrating
About Equality
But Many Folks Won't Have To Suffer
If There Was No Love For Your Brother
For These Are Tryin' Times
