Nothing Is Everything

I used to seek my fortune, fame, and paradise,
But they were empty exploits of mine.
You drew me to you with your laugh and pair of eyes,
The closest that I've ever been, to heaven in my life.

This will never be their favorite song,
I will never be the voice they hear,
And the world will not get easier as long as I may live.
But although I may have nothing, I have everything I need,
Nothing to do but spend my life with you.

I saw you in my visions, you were real to me,
More real than my life had been, and more real than my pain.
Your eyes were much too warm for me to feel empty,
If this makes me crazy then, I don't want to be sane.

This will never be their favorite song,
I will never be the voice they hear,
And the world will not get easier as long as I may live.
But although I may have nothing, I have everything I need,
Nothing to do but spend my life with you.
I never knew, that you get sweeter every day,
Take me away, take me away, take me (home).
Home is where you bring me to,
I could never live without you,
I could never find my way,
Without you as my guide.
For although the world sees nothing, you are everything I need,
Nothing to do but spend my life with you.
