Troubled Mind
I've walked this land over No peace did I find Brother fighting brother Oh what troubled mind. Where has love gone When did hate begin I've searched for the answer And I've searched for a friend.
I've sat in a meadow On grass soft and green Cried in anguished sorrow At the trouble I've seen. Babies who are hungry Wars that are fought There's much man must answer For the trouble he's brought.
I've stood on a corner A busy thoroughfare Watched as people passed And little did they care That I was a stranger Alone in the town No smiles to greet me Only faces with a frown.
My body's growing weary No place for my head Sun is slowly setting Nights I've come to dread. I feel the cold around me Strangeness everywhere I want to call to someone But this I do not dare.
Lord I'll go on searching I'll walk far and wide 'Til I find a quiet place Where your love doth abide Show me where to travel Show me where I'll find Your love unabounding
And no troubled mind.
