John Hamilton Poet Lyric

I'M So Tired of the Pain

I'm so tired of the pain


In yesterday's paper,
I read that, another good man's gone...
I just don't know, what this world is coming to

Seems like, all the good people,
that have been here all along...
are gone without warning, taken, right out of the blue

Chorus

Oh, I'm so tired of the pain...
there's been suffering,
ever since I don't know when...
I just need some peace,
to help me make it to the end...
a little good news, 
to help this poor soul to mend

I've been thinking about you lately,
Lord, please help me to understand...
this world is changing fast, help me to find my way

Everywhere, there's so much evil,
is this, all part of your plan?
please tell me, that the Devil...will not win this day!


Chorus

Oh, I'm so tired of the pain...
there's been suffering,
ever since I don't know when...
I just need some peace,
to help me make it to the end...
a little good news, 
to help this poor soul to mend

Bridge 1
I think back to a time of better days,
when I felt so young and free...
now, I've grown old, and so I've been told,
that, it's better..to just let things be

Bridge 2
Well, I've seen some wise guys, that spin their lies
to me, they all look so strange
They use their guile, and they flash a fake smile
I can't trust them... to bring a change

Chorus

Oh, I'm so tired of the pain...
there's been suffering,
ever since I don't know when...
I just need some peace,
to help me make it to the end...
a little good news, 
to help this poor soul to mend

In yesterday's paper,...
I read that... 
another good man's gone...

I just don't know... 

what this world ...

is coming to!

Harry Horsman January 14, 2018 at 4:49 PM Yes John how poignant, reading this wonderful rendering of yours, reminds me also being i was a part of the fifties Rock & Roll era, and how they the artists are passing, soon to be my own no doubt... John Hamilton January 14, 2018 at 5:35 PM True Harry, yeah the end of an era, saw Paul McCartney and Ringo they still look good almost 80 so that's amazing, thanks for the nice visit and comment!

Robert Lindley January 13, 2018 at 11:16 AM Your truly fine poem made me think of the recently departed Tom Petty, one of my favorite singers/artists.... I so love his band and its music and his song, Southern Accent Were I Come From. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehPUJKk2_dg YOUR POEM BROUGHT THAT TO ME AGAIN. A FAV... John Hamilton January 13, 2018 at 11:31 AM Thanks Robert, yeah I had him in mind when I wrote this, seemed like a decent fellow, down to earth star, another one gone too soon, thanks so much for the visit and the fave!

Andrea Dietrich January 10, 2018 at 6:29 PM John, did you really see a name in the paper because recently I have seen on the news, some really good people have died. Every year, we see more and more, because they are the people we grew up watching on movies, etc. Hearing them on the radio, etc. I really like your emotive song. John Hamilton January 10, 2018 at 7:24 PM Not literally yesterday but is a reference especially to singers who have died recently, a whole generation of musicians are dying off, thanks for the visit and comment!

Poet Destroyer A January 9, 2018 at 10:54 AM Hello, John, this poem seems to be deep, but with good rhythm. I too am tired of all kinds of pains, not just death, the pain so many children and adults endure. A great write, If I could, I'd rate you with a high 7. LINDA John Hamilton January 9, 2018 at 11:12 AM Thanks for the visit Linda, been a long time, thanks for the positive feedback on the song lyric!
