The Ballad of Marty Balin

Time healed your injury – Time heals all.

Not a scratch or a scar is left from your fall.

No limp, no grimace; Why, you’re good as new!  

You perform; you do all that’s expected of you.

But you often wake up with that same old pain

It’s an ache or a jab or a pinch or a strain.

You slept wrong? Stepped wrong? No, you took great care!

It doesn’t matter – This pain will always be there.

And it hurts just as much as it did at the start.

It’s that way with muscles; it’s the same with your heart.
