Just a nobody

I look around the room, and I wonder

If everybody here is somebody, somebody

Like a whimper unheard amidst a roaring thunder

I feel I'm a stranger, an absolute nobody.

Just a tiny me is all I ever embody

I feel I'm a stranger, an absolute nobody.

I've worked the days and lived the night

Of this rich, famous, brave new world

Where they ignore me with all their might

But it's not for me. I'm small and unfurled;

A dying, withering bud left to its own folly

Just a tiny me is all I ever embody

I feel I'm a stranger, an absolute nobody.
