My tired eyes have lost their innocence
My tired eyes have grieved more times intense
My tired eyes won't let me sleep, restfully
for all I have seen burns way down deep
like a fiery field of Lilies once beautiful now singed
my tired eyes have seen truths while lies forced to be told, infringed
cowardice natures unfold time and time and time and time again
my tired eyes have now become my best friend
my tired eyes have become my best defense
for they see clearer now then way back when
my innocence was blinding my paths I stood in the line of fire
left me wide open for spears and evil doers tasks desire
now these tired eyes see right through you
though watery, blood shot and weary
and no, I will not accuse you or expose you clearly
for I know the truth will never surface that way
in time fate will surely have its way on display
My tired eyes lovingly embrace your lies
my tired eyes still see your disguise
my tired eyes understands completely why
you may choose to live on the darker side
Life has left us all a gift
my tired eyes have made me more swift
although my tired eyes won't let me rest at night
haunted by painful memories and stresses of life
My tired eyes see right into your soul
like it or not, it's what God had sold out to my soul
nightly I pray for wisdom and reverent perception
My gift for my tired eyes have been to see clearly, conception
and I see without prejudiced, for life should be sweeter for us all
and though you may try to cut me down and make my spirit fall
My tired eyes forgive those who are blinded by their ignorant hindrance.
My tired eyes help me forgive those who have hurt me upon deliverance
for their lives have forsaken them and blinded them by turmoil
At times, my tired eyes get too weary to forgive their cruel intentions towards me, and my tired eyes cry for just a moment, fall deep
but then my tired eyes awaken my spirit with more understanding, compassion and empathetic progression.
My tired eyes need to let me sleep, not eternally but just until tomorrow.
