My throat hurts cause it's tired of being muzzled
And my head hurts cause it's tired of all the struggle
And my eyes hurt cause they're sick of seeing double
And my heart hurts cause it's sick of all my troubles

And I'm tired – I'm tired of the pain
And I'm tired – I'm tired of trying to attain
I'm tired – tired of missing God
And I'm tired – tired of feeling like a fraud

My mind hurts cause it's always speeding
And my hands hurt cause they're always bleeding
And my blood hurts anytime there's feeding
And my back hurts cause it's sick of always needing

And I'm happy – I'm happy to be here
And I'm happy – I'm happy in the moments that I'm clear
I'm happy when my body's fluid
And I'm happy when I see there's nothing to it

And my heart hurts cause it's under covers
And my root hurts cause of lack of lover
And my soul hurts cause it misses God
And my mind hurts cause it's tired of waiting for applause

And my shoulders are heavy from the weight
And I'm tired – tired of trying to relate
I'm humbled when I hear my heart
And I'm grateful – I'm grateful every time I start

And I'm praying – I'm praying for release
And I'm praying – I'm praying for that phantom peace
I'm praying for my cells to wake
And I'm praying – I pray this time the change will take

And I'm happy when I sing to you
And I'm happy when I feel and see the truth
I'm happy when I step outside
And I'm happy when I see there's nothing left to hide

I promise to listen to my heart
And I promise – I'll listen till I feel my part
I promise – I promise to be true
And I swear, I swear I'll give this life to you
