Rightly Jennings Poet Lyric

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

Tiffany Von Tungeln April 3, 2015 at 9:10 AM This was really inspirational :) Rightly Jennings April 3, 2015 at 9:49 AM Thanks Tiffany. I was very conflicted as I wrote this some years ago. I felt unjustly persecuted. But there's also some humour intended. The title should sound like a badly articulated battle cry issued by the underdog. I don't play it live anymore, 'cause here in Germany, folk weren't getting the humour. I come from the north of England. Inspiring people is a blast. Thanks.
