What Good Am I?

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 a I? --- What Good Am I? - Bob Dylan
