Paragraph Lyric
What good am I if I'm like all the rest,
If I just turned 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've had every chance and yet still fail to see
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?
What good am I if I'm like all the rest,   If I just turned 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've had every chance and yet still fail to see   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?
