It takes all the faith that's in you
Takes your heart and it takes mine
It takes love to be forgiven
Living in these troubled times

When it rains on the range
And it snows in the Spring
You're reminded again

It's just a 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
To living in 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 took your heart and it took mine
It takes love to be forgiven
Living in these troubled times

It's the march of the dying
Living in these troubled times
Loving in these troubled times
