Written by Roger McGuinn. In times of dispair I think about the good things that you've done. And though you're not there I sometimes ask myself is anyone?. It's hard being human when the whole world's uptight. But somehow I know. that everything's gonna work out all right. I might lose my patience but won't you please try to understand. I've got obligations and I intend to face 'em and take my stand. Oh it's so hard being human with all the troubles in sight. But somehow I know. that everything's gonna work out all right. Stick by me baby in spite of my thoughts. that's all I want you to do and try to help me when I'm down. and I'll take good care of you. Now I want to thank you for all the gentle loving that you give. it brightens my feelings and gives me the strength I need to live. Oh it's so hard being human with all of the troubles in sight. But somehow I know. that everything's gonna work out all right.
