W' Any trouble that I've known,
I was the author of it all
I made my stumbles big,
And my stumbles made me small
And by the time I learned to walk,
I only knew to crawl
Any trouble that I've known,
Trouble that I've known,
Any trouble that I've known,
I was the author of it all
W' I was born above the desert sun,
Below the April moon
I was just nineteen with May begun,
And dead and gone by June
I went back once and found the place,
In rubble and in ruin
I was born above the desert sun,
Above the desert sun,
I was born above the desert sun,
Below the April moon
Oh Lord I only turned from you,
Because you turned from me
You knew that I would wander,
And you knew that I would need
Years but I can see now,
That two wrongs won't get me free
But Lord I only turned from you,
Turned away from you
Oh Lord I only turned from you
Because you turned from me
W' Any trouble that I've known,
I was the author of it all
I made my stumbles big
and my stumbles made me small
And by the time I'd learned to walk
I only knew to crawl
W' Any trouble that I've known,
Trouble that I've known,
Any trouble that I've known,
I was the author of it all
