What Makes Me Fine
© 2004 kate laurel smith, kate laurel publishing/ASCAP

There?s something about the way we hold onto
The things that make us bleed
It?s in the way we slam the door
On the very thing we need
While the sadness sings a song in silence
?Please let me be?

We try to find a way just to keep out
The icey winter chill
Our heartbeats race against the clock
No, there?s no time to kill
And we see the storm approaching against our
Own free will

It?s funny how you think I?m a downer
Depressed to the core
Well, I beg you to look closer,
Find something more
You will see the happiness it engulfs me
And you?re waving from the shore

Finally I?ve seen the light
Far be it for me to hold on tight
To the darkness which is turning, turning, turning from the night
Into daylight from the dawn
And I?ve been taken right from wrong
All my bridges they are burning, burning, burning
Won?t you see
That I have been made free?

It?s silly just to rhyme about nothing
When something?s on the line
But it?s never been my job to change you
Or try to change your mind
What is there to do but to tell you
What makes me fine?

And that is nothing is certain
And what is time will fade away
He that stops the motion spinning
Has looked me in the face
And I have?
Finally seen the light.
