People Has It Hard
Empathy in a Troubled World
Lyrics
people has it hard in this old world
Life is challenging for people in this world.
without even trying
Difficulty exists without intentional effort.
all you have to do is look around
Observing one's surroundings reveals hardship.
and you'll see people crying
Visible signs of people experiencing sadness.
there are so many broken hearts
Numerous hearts are broken.
and they're breaking up every day
Relationships are ending frequently.
and every time you turn around
New challenges emerge constantly.
there seems to be another bill to pay
Financial burdens seem to be ever-present.
people has it hard in this old world
Life is tough without deliberate effort.
without even trying
Reiteration of the difficulty without intent.
all you have to do is look around
Observing one's surroundings reveals hardship.
and you'll see people crying
Visible signs of people experiencing sadness.
all you have to do is look around
Repetition emphasizing the prevalence of sorrow.
and you'll see people crying
Reinforcement of the commonality of people in distress.
divorces happen so easily today
Divorces are occurring easily in contemporary times.
breaking little innocent children's hearts
These divorces are affecting innocent children.
but who are they to speak out and say
Questioning the authority to protest against parental separation.
"mommy and daddy, please, do not part"
Children pleading for their parents to stay together.
people has it hard in this old world
Life is challenging for people in this world.
without even trying
Difficulty exists without intentional effort.
all you have to do is look around
Observing one's surroundings reveals hardship.
and you'll see people crying
Visible signs of people experiencing sadness.
all you have to do is look around
Repetition emphasizing the prevalence of sorrow.
and you'll see people crying
Reinforcement of the commonality of people in distress.
