"These Troubled Times" lyrics

Everybody needs someone to talk to
Everybody needs someone to hold
When the world's not a place where you feel safe
We could do with someone else in control
In these troubled times

Politicians, politic and hatred
Media that's feeding on your fear
Repeating lies until you believe that they're true
Oh, but we don't need more wars around here
In 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
