Song For Myself
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's a song for myself
Just a song for myself
You don't have to listen babe
It's just a song for myself
But since i fell in love with you
It's brought some thoughts to mind
If we're gonna raise us a couple of kids
I've got to worry 'bout future times
Do i believe that the answer
Is still blowing in the iwnd?
I don't believe it!
Do i belive that there are good times rolling
Babe, just around the bend?
I don't belive it.
Do i believe that with a little more love
Babe, all our troubles end?
Here i am trying to belive in myself
And be a little good
Be a little good
Be a little good to my friends
It's just a thought that was in my mind
Just a thought that was in my mind
But no one's wrote a protest song
Since nineteen sixty three
Are we all gonna listen to the moldy gold
And say just let it be?
It's just a song for myself
Just a song for myself
You don't have to sing it babe
It's just a song for myself
But it seems our generation
Should have something more to say
Are we all gonna sit here
With a stoned out smile
And simply watch the world go 'way?
