Story Behind The Song

My woman was in hospital, having several operations (cancer). The complications were getting too much to bear.

Troubled Road
© 2011 by F. J. Nascimento

Fate won't wait till you're prepared
No one knows when, why or where
Out of the blue it crashes on you
Leaving you helpless

Feeling lost and out of place
A lonely tear runs down your face
You're not alone, I'll take you home
Take my hand

HAND IN HAND WE FACE THE TROUBLED ROAD AHEAD
HAND IN HAND WE'LL MAKE IT TO THE OTHER SIDE
HAND IN HAND WE SHALL OVERCOME THE DREAD
HAND IN HAND WE'LL MAKE IT TO THE LIGHT
YOU'RE NOT ALONE, BABY, I'LL TAKE YOU HOME

The road seems long, you get unsure
Your courage fades, can't take no more
Losing belief and time is the thief
Stealing away your pride

It breaks my heart to see you cry
And still our hope will never die
Just lean on me, and soon we will be
Home and dry

I will always take care of you
And you'll take care of me
There ain't nothing that we can't do
We are gonna be free
