Song for Myself Lyrics


It's a song to myself
It's a song to myself
You don't have to listen babe
It's just a song for myselfBut since I fell in love with you
It brought some thoughts to mind
If we're gonna raise us a couple of kids
I've got to worry 'bout the future timeDo I believe that the answer is still blowing in the wind?
Do I believe that there are good times rolling babe, just around the bend?
Do I believe that with a little more love now all our troubles end?Here I am trying to believe in myself
And be a little good, be a little good
Be a little good to my friendsIt's just a thought that was in my mind
It's just a thought that's in my mind
You don't have to think it babe
It's just a thought that was in my mindBut no one's wrote a protest song
Since nineteen sixty three
Are we all gonna listen to the moldy gold?
And say, "Just let it be"Do I believe that the answer is still blowing in the wind?
Do I believe that with a little more love now all our troubles end?

Do I believe that there are good times rolling babe, just around the bend?Here I am trying to believe in myself
Be a little good, be a little good
Be a little good to my friendsBe a little good, be a little good
Be a little good, be a little good
Be a little good to my friends nowBe a little good
Be a little good to my friends nowIt's a song for myself
It's just a song for myself
You don't have to listen babe
It's just a song for myselfIt seems my generation
Should have somethin' more to say
Are we all gonna sit here with a stoned out smile
And simply watch the world go 'way?Do I believe that the answer is still blowing in the wind?
Do I believe that with a little more love now all our troubles end?
Do I believe that there are good times rolling babe, just around the bend?Here I am trying to believe in myself
And be a little good, be a little good
Be a little good to my friendsIt's just a song for myselfDo I believe that the answer is still blowing in the wind?
Do I believe that with a little more love now all our troubles end?
Do I believe that there are good times rolling babe, just around the bend?

Harry Chapin (December 7, 1942 – July 16, 1981) was an American singer and songwriter. Chapin's debut album, Heads and Tales (1972), was a success thanks to the single "Taxi". His follow-up album, Sniper and Other Love Songs, was less successful; but his third, Short Stories, was a major success. Verities & Balderdash, released soon after, was even more successful, bolstered by the chart-topping hit single "Cat's in the Cradle". He also wrote and performed a Broadway musical, The Night That Made America Famous.

In the mid 1970s, Chapin focused on social activism, including raising money to combat hunger in the United States and co-founding the organization World Hunger Year, before returning to music with On the Road to Kingdom Come. He also released a book of poetry, Looking...Seeing, in 1977.

His fellow Long Islanders loved him for his support of local artists, as well. He and his wife Sandy raised funds for the Performing Arts Foundation, a now-defunct local theatre group. They also supported the Long Island Ballet. The band shell at Huntington's Hecksher Park is named for Harry Chapin.

Chapin died on July 16, 1981 in an automobile accident on the Long Island Expressway at the age of 38. He was headed west from Huntington Bay, where he lived with his wife and three children, to perform a concert in Eisenhower Park in Nassau County when his car was struck by a truck. An autopsy showed that he had suffered a heart attack, but it could not be determined whether that occurred before or after the collision. Supermarkets General, the owner of the truck, paid $12 million in the ensuing litigation.
