Clarence Prince - Something/Nothing!

I am Something
I met up with Nothing
He wasn't hard to find
I asked him what he was doing
He said, he wasn't doing anything
I asked him where he was from
He said, he was from nowhere
I asked, where's that, nowhere
He said, same place, nowhere
Then who's there I asked him
He said, he had ever been there
Nothing aside Nothing
Just a Nothing
Even so, there's hope
One day I'll be something

I am Something
For sure he's just Nothing
I asked him, if he'd known anything
He said, he knew Everything
So I asked him, who Everything was
He said, the father of everything
That's him, who's Everything
I asked him, where the father is
He said, the father is everywhere
Doing all things from nothing
By Nothing, he made everything
Yet I am still Nothing
Just a Nothing
Even so, there's hope
One day Ill be something

I am Something
You bet he is just Nothing
Here, he had got me confusing
As if I weren't already overly musing
He is Nothing, the father is Everything
So I say take me to father Everything
He said, but you are already with him
Seemly I thought doesn't Nothing cared
Then he said, he cared for all things
But never any one cares for Nothing
Other than father Everything
I am still Nothing yet
Just a Nothing
Even so, there‘s hope
One day I'll be Something
