I got damage to my skin and damage to my nerves,
I have sustained more damage than a good man deserves,
but my ship is still sailing, with a damaged keel.
I'm telling you baby, all this damage is real.

I got damage to my feet and damage to my hands,
there may have been some x-ray damage to my glands,
but the sun is still shining on my damaged face.
This world, I do believe, is a damaged place.

I got damage to my top and damage to my tail,
there's a lot you can't repair with a hammer and a nail,
but my flag is still flying from a damaged mast.
You got to love how long some damaged things will last.

I got damage to my faith and damage to my creed,
there have been degrees of damage to all that I believed,
but I try to hold my course, with a damaged chart.
I'm watching the birds as they soar and they dart.

I got damage to my friends and to all those I love,
I try to keep them safe and I cannot do enough,
but I still wrap them up in my damaged arms.
And they hold me too, and so we go on.

Sincere thanks to all who watch me, and to all who fave my work. I usually don't have time now to give individual thanks for faves, but will always reply to comments.

This is the best line.
Damage doesn't mean a thing except to show our resilience.
