Offer - Alanis Morissette

who

who am I to be blue

look at my family and fortune

look at my friends and my house

who

who am I to feel deadened

who am I to feel spent

look at my health and my money

and where

where do I go to feel good

why do I still look outside me clearly I’ve seen it won’t work

is it my calling to keep on when I’m unable

is it my job to be selfless extraordinaire

and my generousity has me disabled

by this, my sense of duty to offer

and why

why do I feel so ungrateful

me who is far beyond survival

me who sees life as an oyster

is it my calling to keep on when I’m unable

is it my job to be selfless extraordinaire

and my generousity has me disabled

by this, my sense of duty to offer

and how

how dare I rest on my laurels

how dare I ignore an outstretched hand

how dare I ignore a third world country

is it my calling to keep on when I’m unable

is it my job to be selfless extraordinaire

and my generousity has me disabled

by this, my sense of duty to offer

who

who am I to be blue
