Troubles Lyrics
Dear Lord, can You take it away?
This pain in my heart just bothers me by day
And at night, it stalks me like the shadows on my wall
Oh my goodness…
Feel like the world is closing on me
Feel like my dreams will never come to me
I keep on slippin' deeper into myself
And I'm scared, so scared
If you're troubled, you've just gotta let it go
If you're worried, baby, you've just gotta let it go
All your hustles seem for nothin’, you’ve just gotta take it slow
When you need me baby, all you do is let me know
Why does it feel that my mind is constantly trying to pull me down?
I can’t seem to get away
Continuous mistakes I know I made before
How long will I feel so out of place?
If you're troubled, you've just gotta let it go
If you're worried, baby, you’ve just gotta let it go
All your hustles seem for nothin’, you've just gotta take it slow
When you need me baby, all you do is let me know
If you're troubled, you've just gotta let it go
If you're worried, baby, you've just gotta let it go
All your hustles seem for nothin’, you've just gotta take it slow
When you need me baby, all you do is let me know
This pain in my heart just bothers me by day
And at night, it stalks me like the shadows on my wall
Oh my goodness…
Feel like my dreams will never come to me
I keep on slippin' deeper into myself
And I'm scared, so scared
If you're worried, baby, you've just gotta let it go
All your hustles seem for nothin’, you’ve just gotta take it slow
When you need me baby, all you do is let me know
I can’t seem to get away
Continuous mistakes I know I made before
How long will I feel so out of place?
If you're worried, baby, you’ve just gotta let it go
All your hustles seem for nothin’, you've just gotta take it slow
When you need me baby, all you do is let me know
If you're worried, baby, you've just gotta let it go
All your hustles seem for nothin’, you've just gotta take it slow
When you need me baby, all you do is let me know

MAN.... What can i not say about this song.. I mean I think we've all felt a bit down and out at times. This song just allows me to believe that it will all be ok, in the end.. all our struggles in life are for the better. If you have the opportunity to hear this song live.. I think you'll be just as moved as I was when i saw her at Jones Beach in NY, It was a powerful performance and the song really hit home for me. I think its empowering, makes me a stronger person. Thanks Alicia! =)
Even though its hard sometimes, I guess, "If you're troubled, you've just gotta let it go If you're worried, baby, you've just gotta let it go..." Yeah, maybe, "all our struggles in life are for the better..." I guess. This song really makes you think.
Alicia Keys for life
This, to me, is a 'call and response' song - It's Alicia's prayer, and God's response and promise that He will be there. I always find comfort and empowerment in this when I hear it. <3
