What
Good Am I? - Bob Dylan
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 an' don't do?
If i see and don't say, if i look right through you.
If i turn a deaf ear to the thunder in the sky
What good am i?
What good am i while you softly weep?
An' i hear in my head what you say in your sleep.
An' 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 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
An' i laugh in the face of what sorrow brings.
An' i just turn my back when you silently die
What good am i?
