Troubled Times - Christie

I grieve for you, my children

For you there’s no easy road

I weep for all your sorrows

For you know you’re standing all alone

I’ve seen your sons and daughters

I’ve watched them stand and fall

And one thing I am sure of

They will die before you see them crawl

So don’t ask the reason why

The price should be so high

Just live until you die

For you know we live in troubled times

They took away your freedom

They sold you down the line

They gave you empty promises

And paid you back with hatred and with lies

So don’t ask the reason why

The price should be so high

Just live until you die

For you know we live in troubled times
