I believe in nothing. Fancified notions of self portraits grand Starlined thoughts with no legs to stand Wayward wishes well wished yet not won And not one sign or storied slip has been sung. Oh, yes, I believe in nothing. An echo-less hall where I rehearse repeatings A long waited applause watching with wonder And beautiful eyes returning tears that happily fall. I believe in nothing. Because inside us all there happens to be nothing Words said with divine cadence cast skyward They happen to be nothing And the childlike hope that can sometimes be felt in a heartbeat It, too, is nothing. I believe in nothing. Words can be labels only by the meaning you give them. Faith is a beautiful nothing. And I, I believe in a beautiful nothing.

Nothing
I believe in nothing. Fancified notions of self portraits grand Starlined thoughts with no legs to stand Wayward wishes well wished yet not won And not one sign or storied slip has been sung. Oh, yes, I believe in nothing. An echo-less hall where I rehearse repeatings A long waited applause watching with wonder And beautiful eyes returning tears that happily fall. I believe in nothing. Because inside us all there happens to be nothing Words said with divine cadence cast skyward They happen to be nothing And the childlike hope that can sometimes be felt in a heartbeat It, too, is nothing. I believe in nothing. Words can be labels only by the meaning you give them. Faith is a beautiful nothing. And I, I believe in a beautiful nothing.
