Dig deep down

TROUBLE AND WOE
Jeremy Cedric Spencer

This world is full of trouble and woe
This world is full of trouble and woe
All I see is trouble everywhere I go
I'm gonna sing the trouble that I know
This world is full of sadness and tears
This world is full of sadness and tears
They fill us full of sadness and full of fear
I'm gonna sing until my eyes are clear

I'm gonna dig deep down into my heart
I'm gonna dig deep down into my heart
I'm gonna dig deep down, I'm gonna do my part
I'm gonna sing, sing a brand new start

This world is full of promise and love
This world is full of promise and love
Promise of a new day with no dark clouds above
I'm gonna sing that world I'm dreaming of

This world is full of joy and mystery
This world is full of joy and mystery
This world will be of joy, I believe it will be
When we know what it is to be free

This world is full of trouble and woe
This world is full of trouble and woe
All I see is trouble everywhere I go
I'm gonna sing, sing my way back home
I'm gonna sing, sing my way back home

(My thanks to the songwriter and to Ruth Moody and friends.)
