I stutter when I try
To speak the language of life
I want to shout out loud
But I just cry inside
Sometimes it  feels so holy
Sometimes it feels so absurd
So who am I to try and
Put that into words

Videos by American Songwriter

I am nothing
But the angels sometimes whisper in my ears
Yeah, they tell me things
And then they disappear
Though I am nothing
Sometimes I like to make believe
I hear

For Don Dunaway

From “I Am Nothing”
