Pain free. Lord, help me be pain free.
This headache controls me,
Its taken control of my life.

Headache, some say just a headache.
To me also heartache,
It robs me of all joy and all hope.

Chronic, yes it is quite chronic, and relentless,
It’s as sure as night follows day.

Sleep time, oh how I dread sleep time.
For that’s when the throbbing, pounding
Pain begins in my head.

Physicians, most caring physicians,
But they’re not magicians.
They need some help from you Lord.
