I Know What Trouble Is

I know what trouble is

Lord, I know – what trouble is
See it everywhere around me
See it out here on the streets

And I know – what we all miss
What we’d find if we were holy
What we’d know if we were true

And man – was born to build a paradise
But now – he’s torn, his looks are cold as ice
So far removed from where there’s bliss
Lord, I know – what trouble is

Lord I know – what trouble is
It’s that nervous constitution
That defines us when we’re low

And I know – what we all miss
‘Cause we have no real solution
And we go from blow to blow

But man …
Now don’t you let this trouble get you down
It’s certain, it will always be around
So make a pledge and you won’t go amiss
For you know what trouble is!
