Tryin' times, is what the world is talkin' about
You got confusion all over the land
mother against daughter
father against son
the whole thing is getting out of hand

But folks wouldn't have to suffer
If there was more love for your brother
But these are tryin' times

You got the riots in the ghetto,
And it's all around
whole lot of things
that's wrong is going down,
I don't understand it
from my point of view
I remember some other say
do unto others
As you would have them do unto you

And then folks wouldn't have to suffer
If there was more love 
But these are tryin' times

People always talking 'bout man's inhumanity to man
But what is he tryin' to do to make it a better land?
just pick up your paper, turn on your TV
You see lot of demonstrating for equality

But folks folks wouldn't have to suffer
If there was more love
But these are tryin' times

Tryin' times, 
this is what the world is talkin' about
You got confusion
all over all over all over the land
mother against daughter,
father against son
Thole thing is getting out of hand...
