What good am I some 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 right through you
If I turn a deaf ear to the thunderin' 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 then to others and me
If I had every chance and yet still fail to see

If my hands are 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 ?
