What About Me

You know I’m out here searching

Lord, I'm trying

To find a meaning of this life

Think I'm strong enough to

Last the journey

Late at night I hear the cries

What about me

And the baby in the bayou?

What about me?

The catcher in the rye

What about she with that short skirt?

Standing on the red dirt

She's just trying to get by

She's just trying to survive

Now all these charlatans divide the people

We're all the same in so many ways

All we're trying to do

Is raise the children

With some dignity and grace

What about me

And the baby in the bayou?

What about me?

The catcher in the rye

What about she with that short skirt?

Standing on the red dirt

She's just trying to get by, yeah

She's just trying to survive

And now that the storm is over

It's time to start anew

It ain't about me (It ain't about me)

It ain't about you

It's what we can do together

Oh, in this thing together, yeah

I see the children walking hand-in-hand

The greatest generation

That's ever been

Humanity laced with destiny

Huddled all together

Became the sweetest scene

You and me laugh and love

The best that we could be

What about me

And the baby in the bayou?

What about me?

The catcher in the rye

What about she with that short skirt?

Standing on the red dirt

She's just trying to get by

She's just trying to get by (All together, we are one)

She's just trying to survive

The odds

From the coast of Cali

All across the land

What about the babies?

All alone

All alone

All, all alone
