     Our world holds many 
     I am but one 
     Lots are born each day 
     I sit close to none 

     Percentage wise 
     Im less than three 
     In fact, if youll look 
     Youll not find me 

     I mean so little 
     I make no change 
     In fact most think 
     I'm rather strange 

     To most I appear 
     A nothing, blank 
     I hold a zero 
     Upon the river bank 

     Theyve said as much 
     That if I died 
     Theyd be happy 
     And wont have cried 

     Theyve mentioned it 
     Theyll get along 
     Better in fact 
     Without me to do wrong 

     Of all the people 
     That die each day 
     And those are born 
     Heres what I say 

     Youd think for me 
     I wasnt born 
     For they show no feeling 
     Only their scorn 

     They say nothing 
     When Im there 
     To show that maybe 
     They kind of care 

     But as it is 
     They dont miss at all 
     I dont exist 
     Im not even tall 

     Im a zero to most 
     Less than one to the rest 
     And yet maybe to them 
     Its for the best
