Lyrics

SO TIRED

So tired; so very tired.
Tired of waiting; tired of longing.
So tired of watching, and hoping, and wanting.

So tired; so very, very tired.
Tired of wishing, yearning, and dreaming.
So tired of aching, striving, and seeking.

Tired of waiting
For peace to come about; for love to override hate.
So tired of longing
For equality, integrity, honesty and liberty.

Tired of hoping for a change.
Will it happen?  Will it ever happen?
So tired of waiting.

The reality is disconcerting, so disturbing, distressing, and disquieting.
The reality is alarming, disheartening, dismaying, and so nauseating.
The reality is horrifying, demoralising, frightening, shocking and sickening.
So much inhumanity; the reality.

Tired of wishing
For the end of rape, brutality and molestation.
So tired of fearing
Abuse and control; of hardship, dictatorship, injustice and war.
So very tired of worrying
About famine, poverty, insecurity, and disputes over property.
Tired of hoping
For the preservation of wildlife and for the earth to regain its’ beauty.

So tired.
