Tryin’ Times
[DELLA MILES]
Trying times is what the world is talking about
You got confusion all over the land
Mother against daughter father against son
The whole thing is getting out of hand
Folks would not have to suffer
If there was more love for your brother
These are trying times
You got the riots
And the ghettos
And it's all around
A whole lot of things that's wrong
Is going down
I don't understand it
My point of view
I remember somebody said
"do unto others as you'd have them do unto you"
Then folks wouldn't have to suffer
If there was more love
These are trying times
People always talking about man's inhumanity to man
What you trying to do
To make this a better land
Pick up your paper
Turn on your tv
See a lot of demonstrations for equality
Folks would not have to suffer
If there was more love for your brother
These are trying times
Trying times is what the world is talking about
You got confusion, confusion
All over, all over the land
Mothers against daughters!
Fathers against his own son!
Whole thing is getting outta hand
Folks would not have to suffer
If there was more love
These are trying times
