Song for Myself Lyrics

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?
