Troubled Land
Journey Through Turmoil: Seeking Peace in Troubled Lands
Lyrics
Well there's a pain in my side
Expressing physical or emotional discomfort
But I keep traveling on
Determination to continue despite challenges
Bring peace to this troubled land
Call for peace in a troubled land
It's dark out here
Metaphorical darkness, uncertainty
I can't read those signs
Difficulty in understanding the situation
Bring peace to the troubled land
Continued plea for peace
Hurricane on the horizon
Mention of a looming disaster or crisis
Judgment getting closer all the time
Sense of impending judgment or consequence
I can't find tomorrow
Feeling lost about the future
Bring peace to this troubled land
Reiteration of the desire for peace
Well there's two men a walking
Introduction of two individuals on a difficult journey
Down the same dirty road
Shared struggle in a challenging environment
Bring peace to this troubled land
Continued plea for peace in their journey
They stand shoulder to shoulder
Unity in facing a burdensome situation
Carrying the same heavy load
Jointly carrying a heavy emotional burden
Bring peace to this troubled land
Desire for peace in their shared journey
One man's eyes are full of sorrow
One person experiencing sadness
The other man's belly full of unbearable pain
The other person enduring unbearable pain
They keep getting closer
Increasing proximity or closeness
Bring peace to this troubled land
Call for peace amidst their journey
I've got many screaming children
Mention of numerous challenges, responsibilities
Ten million rows to hoe
Desire for peace despite overwhelming tasks
Bring peace to this troubled land
Expressing a persistent struggle or challenge
Deader than an hammer
Metaphorical reference to emotional numbness
But I can't let go
Reluctance to release or move on
Bring peace to this troubled land
Continued plea for peace in the face of difficulty
The eyes of heaven are upon you
Awareness of scrutiny or judgment from above
But so is the soul from down below
Recognition of challenges from below
They'll cut off your fingers
Extreme measures for the sake of peace
To bring peace to this troubled land
Linking sacrifice to the pursuit of peace
Well you can stand up and holler
Encouragement to take action or speak out
You can lay down and die
Contrast between active resistance and passive acceptance
Bring peace to this troubled land
Continued plea for peace despite challenges
We can turn up our collars
Indifference or resignation to difficulties
And never even try
Discouragement from making an effort for peace
To bring peace to this troubled land
Warning against those who may cause harm
Beware of those who want to harm you
Caution against being dragged into negativity
And drag you down to a lower game
Acknowledgment of impending truth
Just know the truth is coming
Linking truth to the achievement of peace
To bring peace to this troubled land
Reiteration of the goal to bring peace
I got a pain in my side
Reiteration of physical or emotional discomfort
But I keep traveling on
Determination to persist despite challenges
