Mama, I Am Tired

Intro

Mama… oh mama…

I’m tired, so tired…

Verse 1

Mama, oh mama, I’m tired today,

Tired of watchin’ the world decay.

This earth is turnin’ to a jungle wild,

No mercy left for any child.

Maybe you forgot to say,

That even when it shines, the sun hides away.

No clouds, no rain—but still no light,

Even in day, the soul feels night.

Refrain

Maybe you forgot to tell me…

That man’s runnin’ from dignity.

Children cry and no one hears…

Hearts are frozen, deaf to tears.

Verse 2

Now I see what I never knew,

As a child, the world looked true.

But I see pain I never felt,

Screams so loud the silence melts.

They starve the young with their wars,

Poison their breath to fund their stores.

Killin’ babies one day old,

Even in wombs where life unfolds.

Bridge

They arm their hands, they chain their soul,

Turnin’ hearts from warm to cold.

They kill their light, erase their grace,

Turnin’ children into hate.

For greed, for pride, for bloody gain—

They baptize love in rivers of pain.

Chorus

Mama, I am tired, so tired,

I need your knee to lay my fire.

I need your smile, your peace of mind,

In a world that’s lost and blind.

I need your gaze to feel secure,

Where nothin’s real, and nothin’s sure.

I don’t know what is truth or lie—

Mama, sing me lullabies.

Verse 3

They say they love the little ones,

But build a world that hides the sun.

No place to breathe, no place to dream,

Just power games and blood and schemes.

Mama, I am tired… can’t lie—

Just need your voice to learn to cry.

Chorus

Let me rest upon your chest,

Feel that love, that sacred nest.

Let me hear a truth so pure,

When nothin’ else feels safe or sure.

Mama, I am tired, so tired,

I’m searchin’ hope through all this fire.

Show me the world I used to see—

With love, with light, with honesty.

Outro

Mama… mama… I’m tired…

Just one more song… for the child I was…
