There Is Nothing Wrong With Me
there is nothing wrong with me that you cannot fix
and I'm stronger than a tree when my heart's in it
you could tear me down without making a sound
or you could give me what I need
whatever they may fancy
there is nothing wrong with me
malice on the face of insult stands before the setting sun
though the night may still be useful if you see me just walk on
there might be some blood but it's all good
if their cold hearts need not beat
to the devil with all bounty
there is nothing wrong with me
I've been around like a ball, it's easy to fall
so maybe I've changed but that's all
let it be understood, that it's really no good
stay the same and you will fall
though the way ahead is hard and under several shades of doubt
we can make this place our garden if we stay and work things out
from the worst it can get to the very next step
we will find our mountain peak
and as far as I can see
there is nothing wrong with me
