| Well, there's a pain in my side that I keep traveling on | |
| Bring peace to this troubled land | |
| It's dark out here, I can't read those signs | |
| Bring peace to the troubled land | |
| Hurricane on the horizon | |
| Judgment getting closer all the time | |
| I can't find tomorrow | |
| Bring peace to this troubled land | |
| Well, there's two men a walking down the same dirty road | |
| Bring peace to this troubled land | |
| They stand shoulder to shoulder carrying the same heavy load | |
| Bring peace to this troubled land | |
| One man's eyes are full of sorrow | |
| The other man's belly full of unbearable pain | |
| They keep getting closer | |
| Bring peace to this troubled land | |
| I got many screaming children, ten million rows to hoe | |
| Bring peace to this troubled land | |
| Deader than a hammer but I can't let go | |
| Bring peace to this troubled land | |
| The eyes of heaven are upon you | |
| So is the soul from down below | |
| Theyâ€~ll cut off your fingers | |
| To bring peace to this troubled land | |
| Well, you can stand up and holler, you can lay down and die | |
| Bring peace to this troubled land | |
| We can turn up our collars and never even try | |
| To bring peace to this troubled land | |
| Beware of those who want to harm you | |
| And drag you down to a lower game | |
| Just know the truth is coming | |
| To bring peace to this troubled land | |
| I got a pain in my side but I keep traveling on |
| Well, there' s a pain in my side that I keep traveling on | |
| Bring peace to this troubled land | |
| It' s dark out here, I can' t read those signs | |
| Bring peace to the troubled land | |
| Hurricane on the horizon | |
| Judgment getting closer all the time | |
| I can' t find tomorrow | |
| Bring peace to this troubled land | |
| Well, there' s two men a walking down the same dirty road | |
| Bring peace to this troubled land | |

| Bring peace to this troubled land | |
| Deader than a hammer but I can' t let go | |
| Bring peace to this troubled land | |
| The eyes of heaven are upon you | |
| So is the soul from down below | |
| They ll cut off your fingers | |
| To bring peace to this troubled land | |
