Well there's a pain in my side
But I keep traveling on
Bring peace to this troubled land

It's dark out here
I can't read those signs
Bring peace to the troubled land

Hurricane on the horizon
Judgment getting closer all the time
I can't find tomorrow

Bring peace to this troubled land

Well there's two men a walking

Down the same dirty road
Bring peace to this troubled land
They stand shoulder to shoulder

Carrying the same heavy load
Bring peace to this troubled land
One man's eyes are full of sorrow

The other man's belly full of unbearable pain
They keep getting closer
Bring peace to this troubled land


I've got many screaming children
Ten million rows to hoe

Bring peace to this troubled land
Deader than an hammer
But I can't let go

Bring peace to this troubled land
The eyes of heaven are upon you
But so is the soul from down below

They'll cut off your fingers
To bring peace to this troubled land


Well you can stand up and holler
You can lay down and die
Bring peace to this troubled land

We can turn up our collars
And never even try
To bring peace to this troubled land

Beware of those who want to harm you
And drag you down to a lower game
Just know the truth is coming

To bring peace to this troubled land

I got a pain in my side

But I keep traveling on
