What good am I if I m like all the rest
If I just turned awaywhen 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 sayif 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 ve had every chance and yet still fail to see
Bridge: If 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?
