I’m tired of seeing homelessness
All over the world
I’m tired of unnecessary wars in the world
I’m tired of seeing poverty
In a world of abundance
I’m tired of hearing the children crying
In a world flowing with milk
I’m tired of the hopelessness
In a world blessed with hope
I’m tired of seeing too much greed
In a world full of hungry mouths
I’m tired. Ooo yes I’m tired; tired, tired
Seeing the children dying in the rich people’s wars
I’m tired, eerie eerie tired; tired to see another man without a home
I’m tired as we watch glaciers melt
I’m tired we watch the oceans rise
I’m tired that we watch species go extinct
I’m tired as we people suffer from starvation
I’m tired to see income inequality
I’m tired; tired, tired; OOOOOOOH I’m tired, indeed to see all forms of deprivation
that are the roots of misery and terrorism
I’m tired that we still cannot understand that we must change economic and social inequalities
OOOOOOOH I’m tired, tired that we still cannot change political systems that no longer serve humanity
Yes; yes, yes; Oooooooooooooo I’m tired
