Song for Myself Songtext
von Harry Chapin

It′s a song to myself
It's a song to myself
You don′t have to listen babe
It's just a song for myself

But since I fell in love with you
It brought some thoughts to mind
If we're gonna raise us a couple of kids
I′ve got to worry ′bout the future time

Do I believe that the answer is still blowing in the wind?
Do I believe that there are good times rolling babe, just around the bend?
Do I believe that with a little more love now all our troubles end?

Here I am trying to believe 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
It′s just a thought that's in my mind
You don′t have to think it babe
It's 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"

Do I believe that the answer is still blowing in the wind?
Do I believe that with a little more love now all our troubles end?
Do I believe that there are good times rolling babe, just around the bend?

Here I am trying to believe in myself
Be a little good, be a little good
Be a little good to my friends

Be a little good, be a little good
Be a little good, be a little good
Be a little good to my friends now

Be a little good
Be a little good to my friends now

It's a song for myself
It's just a song for myself
You don′t have to listen babe
It′s just a song for myself

It seems my generation
Should have somethin' more to say
Are we all gonna sit here with a stoned out smile
And simply watch the world go ′way?


Do I believe that the answer is still blowing in the wind?
Do I believe that with a little more love now all our troubles end?
Do I believe that there are good times rolling babe, just around the bend?

Here I am trying to believe in myself
And be a little good, be a little good
Be a little good to my friends

It's just a song for myself

Do I believe that the answer is still blowing in the wind?
Do I believe that with a little more love now all our troubles end?
Do I believe that there are good times rolling babe, just around the bend?
