The Nothing SongToday's the day that nothing happened.
A clouded haze is all that's safe I'm not sure but my mind does know what can be endured and what must be erased. I just can't remember. Maybe we can talk about something different, okay? Like a cold December the ground is frozen and we won't taste new fruit today. Can you hear this nothing song? One day nothing went so wrong. No one knows, except us three: God and you, and maybe me. Today's the day that nothing ended. Meet this pain that I've befriended. Like a dream that I've forgotten nothing's gone, so misbegotten. They said go so we went. I don't know when life begins but I know when a life can end. I save tears to be spent for the day of healing when I finally won't forget. There are nothings in our heart that only Love reveals. There's a place a soul inhabits that only God can heal. + Adapted by John Rieping from the words of those who suffered from "nothing" |
