I think you see me The way that you'd like see A man that gets nothing done I think you'd like me to be As useless as I seem And leave everything undone But the little boy I used to be He had a conscience you could see And he held it in his hand He did not understand That he would soon be me I think you'd like to know A place that I won't go And spend some time You say you need a friend To take you by the hand And sit awhile If you could only feel this It's nothing to believe I ask an honest question I get a silent scream When I hear the answer It's nothing I could see If someone could have warned you It takes much more than me But the little boy I used to be He had a conscience you could see And he held it in his hand He did not understand That he would soon be free
