You're Gonna Have Trouble Lyrics

Last thing I remember everything was going great

Nobody had problems and the newspaper was blank

Then suddenly a gunshot rang and everybody ran

And now we have injustices from Memphis to Iran

The people were so peaceful 'til the wrong man was in charge

Now the children are afraid and hope it still at large

I tire of this bad news but it's all that we have left

I'll try to find serenity in the middle of this mess

Then I recall the wisdom I neglected all along

You're gonna have trouble, you're gonna have pain

You're gonna have problem in all these evil days

You're gonna hear drama, you're gonna feel drained

You're gonna have trauma in all these evil days

So take heart

First thing to remember is that life is never fair

It wasn't made for us to find the perfect food and hair

But we have got to make the best with what we've been given

Time is all we have so let's get busy with living

The orphans and the widows, they are never hard to find

They're right here in the midst of all the chaos and the crime

But we can overcome death by a testimony faith

I'll pick up my baton and jump right back into the race

And it's not wisdom to pretend that nothing can go wrong

You're gonna have trouble, you're gonna have pain

You're gonna have problem in all these evil days

You're gonna hear drama, you're gonna feel drained

You're gonna have trauma in all these evil days

So take heart

Silence fills the hallways of the world

Slipping through these thinly veiled words

Tribulations terrorize the soul

But this blood has overcome it all

Oh 'cause

You're gonna have trouble, you're gonna have pain

You're gonna have problem in all these evil days

You're gonna hear drama, you're gonna feel drained

You're gonna have trauma in all these evil days

You're gonna have trouble, you're gonna have pain

You're gonna have problem in all these evil days

You're gonna hear drama, you're gonna feel drained

You're gonna have trauma in all these evil days

So take heart

Listen, listen for the whisper

Listen, listen for the whisper

It says take heart, I have overcome the world

Take heart, I have overcome the world
