Part Of The Problem

I wasn't surprised when you burst

Through the door crying

For days your eyes were swelling

You've got so many things on your mind

I want to help

But I know that I am part of the problem

A need like yours is not so hard to understand

For most mankind

You need to keep your armour shined

With other people's praising spit

But sometimes that spit has acid in it

And I know that that's part of the problem

As you give and give and give

And don't get back

You give in

And I know that that's part of the problem

There are so many parts to the problem

Can I stroke your temple

Will you lay it in my lap

Can I kiss your tears away

Can I rub the knots from your back

Cause I know that that's part of the problem

And although I am part of the problem

There is one more thing I want to say

In the hopes of making you feel better

Will you write to the raindrops

Will you play with the animals

Cause they don't have an opinion

But they have so much to say

Will you write to the raindrops

Will you play with the animals

Cause they don't have an opinion

But they have so much to say

They'll give and give and give

Until you can give to yourself
