Nothing

I thought it was time for me to strip things down and do something acoustic again, so I sporadically wrote and recorded this last night while I was supposed to be working.
The lyrics are from the point of view of a been-around-the-block a few times type of guy who is no longer surprised or alarmed by anything that happens around him.
After this song was finished I really had to fight the urge to add more instrumentation to it and have it explode at the end, but I'm glad I resisted.

Have you ever seen the moon in the middle of the day?
Have you ever seen the sun shine when the sky is full of rain?
Have you ever felt the warmth on a cold November day?

Well I have
Yes I have

Have you ever heard the laugh
from a child of your own?
Have you ever held the hand
of a lover and a friend?
Have you ever talked to God
and heard him talking back?

Well I have
Yes I have

I have seen it all
I have been here before
This does not alarm me
Nothing surprises anymore

Have you ever started something
that you know you can't finish?
Have you ever had a feeling
there's something better than this?
Have you ever been rejected?
Have you ever been missed?

Well I have
Yes I have

Have you ever seen a murder?
Have you ever seen a ghost?
Have you ever been so far away?
Have you ever been so close?

Have you ever had to fight
or did you turn the other cheek?
Have you ever heard a scream at night?
Do you feel you're incomplete?

I have seen it all
I have been here before
This does not alarm me
Nothing surprises anymore
