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

With my hands 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?
