Shes Tired
Marlee June Clayton 1993 (IA)
She’s tired of feeling hurt and alone
She’s tired of waking up without them close
Her babies are what make her whole
They took her soul when they took her babies from her
She’s tired of fighting a battle she’ll never win
Her fears have left her alone and scared
She’ll never hold her babies again
She’s tired of never being enough
She’s tired of fighting a system that’s broken
Yes she’s tired and afraid it’ll never end
But she’ll never be tired of loving them
She’ll fight til the absolute end......
