I’M OK

I’ll admit I’m slightly troubled
and there are times I’m downright sad
When I think back on things that happened
and some of those were really bad
But I’m O.K., I tell you truly
I’m alive, and that’s a lot
I’m better off than some old buddies
Yeah I’m alive and they are not
There are times I dream about them
But mostly now, I only sleep
I’m telling you I’m doing fine now
Why should I think ‘bout things so deep
I never cry, ‘cause that’s not manly
It’s not the way that I was taught
And what the hell, It’s all behind me
I’ve put aside just why we fought
I can’t remember all the reasons
There had to be some, I suppose
I do remember, for God and country
but it was more than only those
I lost some friends for lofty reasons
and they are now forever gone
But I’m O.K., Yeah, I’m still living
But sometimes GOD, I’m so alone
