Tryin’ Times Roberta Flack

[Verse 1]
Tryin' times is what the world is talkin' about
You got confusion all over the land, yeah
Mother against daughter, father against son
The whole thing is gettin' out of hand

[Chorus]
But folks wouldn't have to suffer
If there was more love for your brother
But these are tryin' times

[Verse 2]
You got the riots in the ghetto, and it's all around
A whole lot of things that's wrong is going down
I don't understand it, my point of view
I remember somebody said "Do unto others
As you would have them do unto you"

[Chorus]
And then folks wouldn't have to suffer
If there was more love
But these are tryin' times

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
People always talking about man's inhumanity to man
But what is you tryin' to do to make this a better land?
Just pick up your paper, turn on your TV
You see a lot of demonstrations for equality
