So Much Trouble in the World
Bob Marley & The Wailers Lyrics

So much trouble in the world
There is excessive chaos and conflict in the world.

Bless my eyes this morning
I am grateful to be alive to witness another day.

Jah sun is on the rise once again
The sun has risen and I acknowledge the presence of a higher power.

The way earthly things are going
The state of affairs on Earth is concerning.

Anything can happen
The future is uncertain and anything can occur.

You see men sailing on their ego trips
People are preoccupied with their own self-importance.

Blast off on their spaceships
People are obsessed with materialistic pursuits and disregard the world's issues.

Million miles from reality
People are disconnected from the true nature of reality.

No care for you, no care for me
People lack empathy for others and only care about themselves.

All you've got to do is give a little (give a little)
Making a small effort can make a significant difference.

One more time yeah! (give a little)
Emphasizes the importance of continuously making an effort to help others.

So you think you've found the solution
People believe they have found solutions to the world's issues.

But it's just another illusion
These solutions are temporary and do not truly address the root of the issue.

Don't leave another cornerstone standing there behind
It is important to address all aspects of a problem, not just the surface level issues.

We've got to face the day
We must confront the issues at hand and not avoid them.

Ooh we come what may
We must deal with the consequences, whatever they may be.

We the street people talking
Those who are most affected by the problems are discussing them.

Now they are sitting on a time bomb (bomb, bomb, bomb! bomb, bomb, bomb!)
The problems are becoming increasingly dangerous and explosive.

Now I know the time has come (bomb, bomb, bomb! bomb, bomb, bomb!)
It is time to take action before it is too late.

What goes on up is coming on down (bomb, bomb, bomb! bomb, bomb, bomb!)
The consequences of our actions will eventually catch up to us.

Goes around and comes around (bomb, bomb, bomb! bomb, bomb, bomb!)
Karma will come back to those who contribute to the world's issues.

There is so much trouble (so much trouble in the world)
There is a significant amount of turmoil and unrest in the world.

There is so much trouble
Emphasizes the magnitude of the problems we face.

There is so much trouble (so much in the world)
The problems are pervasive and affect many aspects of society.

There is so much trouble
The repetition underscores the severity of the situation.

There is so much trouble in the world
The world is in a state of crisis, and we must make changes to address these issues.
