Lament Lyrics

I'm Mary and I'm Martha all at the same time
I'm sitting at His feet yet I'm dying to be recognized
I am a picture of contentment and I am dissatisfied
Why is it easy to work but hard to rest sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes

I'm restless and I rustle like a thousand tall trees
I'm twisting and I'm turning in an endless daydream
You wrestle me at night and I wake in search of You
Oh but try as I might I just can't catch You

But I want to
Cause I need You
Yeah I need You
I can't catch You
But I want to

Oh how long, how long until I'm home
Cause I'm so tired, so tired of running
Oh how long until You come for me
Cause I'm so tired, so tired of running
Oh how long, how long until I'm home
Cause I'm so tired, so tired of running
Oh how long, how long until You come for me
Cause I'm so tired, so tired of running
Yeah I'm so tired, so tired of running
I'm so tired, so tired of running
So tired

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
