Tryin' Times Lyrics - Singles - Donny Hathaway

Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah 

Tryin' times, what the world is talkin' about 

You got confusion all over the land, yeah 

You got mother against daughter, you got father against son 

You know the whole thing is getting out of hand 

Then maybe folks wouldn't have to suffer 

If there was more love for your brother 

But these are tryin' times, yeah, yeah 

You got the riots in the ghetto, it's all around 

A whole lot of things that's wrong is going down, yes, it is 

I can't understand it from my point of view 

'Cause I think you should do unto others 

As you'd have them do unto you 

Then maybe folks wouldn't have to suffer 

If there was more love for your brother 

But these are tryin' times, yes, it is 

I said man is always talking 'bout it's inhumanity to man 

But what is he tryin' to do to make it a better man? 

Oh, just read the paper, turn on your TV 

You see folks demonstrating about equality 

But maybe folks wouldn't have to suffer 

If there was more love for your brother 

But these are tryin' times 

Tryin' times, yeah, that's what the world is talkin' about 

You got confusion all over the land
