  • There was a time when there was nothing at all
    Nothing at all, just a distant hum
    There was a being and he lived on his own
    He had no one to talk to, and nothing to do
    He drew up the plans
    Learnt to work with his hands
    A million years passed by and his work was done
    And his words were these

    Hope you find it in everything
    Everything that you see
    Hope you find it in everything
    Everything that you see
    Hope you find it, hope you find it
    Hope you find me in you

    So she had built her elaborate home
    With it's ups and it's downs, its rains and its sun
    She decided that her work was done
    Time to have fun
    And she found a game to play
    Then as part of the game
    She completely forgot where she'd hidden herself
    And she spent the rest of her time
    Trying to find the parts

    Hope you find it in everything, everything that you see
    Hope you find it in everything, everything that you see
    Hope you find it, hope you find it
    Hope you find me in you

    There was a time when there was nothing at all, nothing at all
    Just a distant hum Writer/s: AL ANDERSON, GARY NICHOLSON
