lyrics

SONG FOR NO ONE –Jordan Rand


I look outside,

And I see nothing.
I look inside,
And I see no one.
I’ve grown, 

You’ve flown,
And now there’s no one
But me.

I look around,

It feels like dreaming.
I go to bed,
My ears hear drumming.

In bed
Is dead.

The night is numbing.
I’m free

To be no one.
“AT LEAST 
YOU’VE HAD A LOVE

THAT’S MORE THAN MOST,
 IF LESS THAN SOME.
DON’T CRY 
FOR WHAT YOU’VE LOST

WHEN WHAT YOU’VE FOUND
 IS DEAD AND GONE.
OUR TIME
 IN LIFE IS SHORT.

IT GOES SO VERY FAST.

YOU’VE GOT 
TO MAKE IT THROUGH
YOU’VE GOT
TO MAKE IT LAST.”

I leave my friends.

I leave my family.
I’m gone for years.
I’m only a memory.
Nowhere.

Don’t care.

Don’t look for me

Or you will see

No one.
The world goes on.

It spins around the sun.

And what of me?

Am I like the currents in the sea?

Arranged,

Unchanged.

Have I

The power or the right

To say goodnight

To no one?
“AT LEAST 
YOU’VE HAD A LOVE

THAT’S MORE THAN MOST,
 IF LESS THAN SOME.
DON’T CRY 
FOR WHAT YOU’VE LOST

WHEN WHAT YOU’VE FOUND
 IS DEAD AND GONE.
OUR TIME
 IN LIFE IS SHORT.

IT GOES SO VERY FAST.

YOU’VE GOT 
TO MAKE IT THROUGH
YOU’VE GOT
TO MAKE IT LAST.”

I look outside,

And I see nothing.

I look inside,

And I see someone.
I’ve grown,
I’ve flown,
Now I’m with someone

I’m free.

And there’s no one.
No one
In me.
