What Good Am I?

What good am I if I'm like all the rest?

If I just turn away when I see how you're dressed

If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry

What good am I?

What good am I if I know and don't do?

If I see and don't say, if I look straight through you

If I turn a deaf ear to the thundering sky

What good am I?

What good am I while you softly weep?

And I hear in my head what you say in your sleep

And I freeze in the moment like the rest who don't try

What good am I, what good am I?

What good am I then to the others and me?

If I've had every chance and yet still fail to see

If my hand's tied, must I not wonder within

Who tied them and why and where must I have been?

What good am I if I say foolish things?

And I laugh in the face of what sorrow brings

And I just turn my back while you silently die

What good am I, what good am I?

What good am I?
