Well it's a long way back to the things I know are real

And it's a long way back to the things that I can feel

And it's a long way back to a green and growing tree

And it's a long way back to what there used to be

I been troublin' I been troublin' about all the things I hear

I been troublin' I been troublin' about the earth's progress career

And I travelled that road just as often as I can

Just to spend an hour or lifetime to walk barefooted on the land

And I travelled that road even if it's in my mind

To a place that's fit for every living kind

I been troublin' I been troublin' about all there is to do

I been troublin' I been troublin' 'cause I know the waiting's through
