No Knowing

Am I lost?
Am I tired?
Am I forgotten?
Am I unknown?
Am I unseen?

Oh that I may find rest 
It is all my body longs for
Oh that I may find quiet
It is all my ears long for
Oh that I may find peace 
It is all my soul longs for

I grow weary of the fights
I grow weary of the shouting
I grow weary of the double edged sword
I grow weary of  not knowing whether today you will stand by me 
Or not

Oh that I may sleep
And forget the worries of the world
Just for a moment
Just for a minute 
Just for a day

I am burnt out
And need my rest!
