Absolutely Nothing

By Phillip Hennessy

 

In hell or heaven
Here on earth
What you're given's
what you're worth

You're given your Life
You're gifted your Love
What's taken, for Granted,
Gets taken away

When there's nothing to prove
And there's nothing to lose
that's all you're left with,
The Nothingness blues.

Some will leave, Some will grieve
Some return, and Some will burn
From nothing, we came,
so it's all returned.
All you take with you,
will be
what you learned.
