It takes all the faith within you It takes your heart and it takes mine It takes love to be forgiven Living i-n these troubled times When it rains on the rain And it snows in the spring You're re-minded again It's just the march of the dying Living in these troubled times Brings you down to buy a paper If you read between the lines No one seems to have the answer Living i-n these troubled times Still you try and you try And you do what you must do It's the march of the dying Living in these troubled times Loving in these troubled times It takes a man it takes a woman It takes your heart and it takes mine It takes love to be forgiven Living i-n these troubled times It's the march of the dying Living in these troubled times Loving in these troubled times
