These Troubled Times - Jamie Lawson

Everybody needs someone to talk to

Everybody needs someone to hold

When the worlds not a place where you feel safe

We could do with someone else in control

In these troubled times

Politicians politickin' hatred

Media that’s feeding on your fear

Repeating lies until you believe that they’re true

Oh, but we don’t need more walls around here

These troubled times

Give love, 'cause there’s never enough

Be kind, 'cause it’s so hard to find

Reach out when you need a hand to hold

You’re gonna need someone on your side

In these troubled times

You can’t deny the weather has been changing

Or events from history have taken place

They can happen again, unless we try and stop them

And if we don’t, we’ll hang our heads in disgrace

About these troubled times

Give love, 'cause there’s never enough

Be kind, 'cause it’s so hard to find

Reach out when you need a hand to hold

You’re gonna need someone on your side

In these troubled times, times

You need to be brave, to stand up, to speak out and be heard

It takes courage to hold fast against this hatred in this world

Well, there are others out there that feel the way you do

Stand up and be counted 'cause we’re counting on you

Give love, 'cause there’s never enough

Be kind, 'cause it’s so hard to find

Reach out when you need a hand to hold

You’re gonna need someone on your side

In these troubled times

Oh, in these troubled times

Reach out when you need a hand to hold

You’re gonna need someone on your side

In these troubled times, troubled times
