I just listened to a Bob Dylan song. "What good am I?" I have posted the lyrics below. What a beautiful song, and what a great wake up call for 2011! Although we see beautiful things happen all over the world (let's not forget about those!), we still have some work to do. The only way we can make a difference is if we start working together as one. We know we are all connected, but sometimes forget when we get tied up in our daily routines. Let's start the year by not forgetting that we can make a difference. Let's not shut ourselves off to the great things we can do. We can make a difference!
Have a wonderful 2011!!
What Good Am I?
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 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 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 am I?
