Time and Trouble

Time will pass and trouble can come
Perspectives change, it's nothing to some
They keep on living through every cloud
They never complain or cry out loud

Remember the life we live so well
Is not for free, the price won't tell
But things can come and things will go
Tomorrow there's something new to know

No matter what we strive to be
There's never a cost to living free
But don't pretend that peace is all
Without a fight the meek can fall

Take trouble to rise - take heart, grow strong
Make sure you're clear, we hear your song
Don't now imagine your words are dead
For every one's in someone's head

You have the time to care each day
The way you work, the way you play
There's always chance to help things flow
With gentle kindness, wherever you go

I don't care who or where you are
The size of house, your boat or car
But have respect and help me climb
Through trouble I came, so give me time
