Troubles
Troubles, troubles – everyone has them, you know,
Troubles, troubles – don’t they come falling like snow?
Now, don’t you lose hope in the harder times, never lose sight of your dreams,
Troubles are shadows, they’re never as large as they seem.
(troubles are shadows, they’re never as large as they seem)
Troubles, troubles – weighing you down like a stone, oh,
Troubles, troubles – can’t solve them all on your own,
You worry too much and they’ll rob you blind, steal all your laughter away,
Troubles should teach us to walk on in faith, come what may.
Life is a treasure from Heaven, a grand lucky seven,
It’s such a blessing to be here at all,
So embrace it with gladness, for even in sadness an angel’s beside you, oh.
Troubles, troubles – we all have heartache and pain,
Troubles, troubles – don’t waste your breath to complain,
Look over your shoulder through all the years,
I think you’ll agree when I say: for all of our troubles we’re older and wiser today,
(for all of our troubles we’re older and wiser)
For all of our troubles we’re older and wiser today,
(troubles, troubles)
Yeah, troubles.
(troubles, troubles)
