Tired
Yearning for Peace: Paapa Versa's Soulful Reflection on Weariness
Lyrics
3, 2, 1
Expressing a sense of urgency or anticipation, counting down to something significant.
I'm tired of the noise in the news
Frustration with the constant noise and chaos reported in the news.
I'm tired of just being confused
Feeling weary and overwhelmed by a lack of understanding or clarity in life.
This has been one hell of a year
Reflecting on a challenging and difficult year.
Heaven, can you come fill the air?
Seeking a divine presence to bring comfort and peace.
Oh you know we're tired ooo
Emphasizing the pervasive feeling of exhaustion.
Heaven knows we're tired ooo
Acknowledging the weariness in the knowledge or awareness of heaven.
Yesu we are tired ooo
Invoking the name of Jesus, expressing exhaustion.
Cry out we are tired ooo
A collective cry for help and relief from the overwhelming burden.
The preacher's saying this too shall pass
Reference to the comforting words of a preacher, yet a sense of hiding true feelings.
But we've always been hiding behind masks
Admitting to a prolonged period of concealment or avoidance.
It feels like we've been running too long (running, running, oh)
Expressing weariness from a seemingly endless pursuit.
How many more fears can we run from, ooo
Raising the question of how much longer one can avoid facing fears.
There's so much smoke and debris
Metaphorically describing a hazy and confusing environment.
We want to breathe just a little
Longing for a moment of respite and clarity.
Right now it's so hard to see what we must do
Expressing difficulty in discerning the right course of action in the current circumstances.
So many wars we can't see
Acknowledging the presence of unseen conflicts and struggles.
But we're caught in the middle
Feeling trapped in the midst of conflicting forces.
We're in a fight for our lives, so we
Describing a profound struggle for survival or well-being.
Cry out we are tired ooo
Reiterating the collective cry for relief and rest.
Cry out we are tired ooo
Continuing to express the collective weariness and plea for respite.
Yesu, we are tired ooo
Calling on Jesus again, emphasizing the fatigue.
So we cry out we are tired ooo
Repeating the collective cry for help and relief.
Oh I know someday (tired, ooo) we will be restored
Expressing hope for a future restoration despite the current fatigue.
And I know we'll rest (tired, ooo) because you're still Lord
Believing in eventual rest and peace because of the divine presence.
But right now we are (tired, ooo)
Acknowledging the current state of weariness.
So we cry out we are (tired) ooo
Reiterating the collective cry for relief and rest due to exhaustion.
