Nothing Lyrics - A Chorus Line: 40th Anniversary Celebration Original Broadway Cast Recording - A Chorus Line

Every day for a week we would try to 

Feel the motion, feel the motion 

Down the hill 

Every day for a week we would try to 

Hear the wind rush, hear the wind rush 

Feel the chill 

And I dug right down to the bottom of my soul 

To see what I had inside 

Yes, I dug right down to the bottom of my soul 

And I tried, I tried 

And everybody is going whoosh, whoosh 

I feel the snow, I feel the cold, I feel the air 

And Mr. Karp turns to me and he says 

"Okay, Morales, what did you feel?" 

And I said 

"Nothing, I'm feeling nothing" 

And he says 

"Nothing could get a girl transferred" 

They all felt something 

But I felt nothing 

Except the feeling 

That this nonsense was absurd 

But I said to myself 

"Hey it's only the first week 

Maybe it's genetic 

They don't have bobsleds in San Juan" 

Second week, more advanced 

And we had to be a table 

Be a sports car 

Ice cream cone 

Mr. Karp, he would say 

"Very good, except 

Morales try 

Morales, all alone" 

So I dug right down to the bottom of my soul 

To see how an ice cream felt 

Yes, I dug right down to the bottom of my soul 

And I tried to melt 

The kids yelled,"Nothing" 

They called me,"Nothing" 

And Karp allowed it 

Which really makes me burn 

They were so helpful 

They called me hopeless 

Until I really didn't know 

Where else to turn 

And Karp kept saying 

"Morales, I think you should transfer to Girls High 

You'll never be an actress, never" 

Jesus Christ 

Went to church, praying 

"Santa Maria, send me guidance 

Send me guidance" On my knees 

Went to church, praying 

"Santa Maria, help me feel it 

Help me feel it, pretty please" 

And a voice from down at the bottom of my soul 

Came up to the top of my head 

And the voice from down at the bottom of my soul 

Here is what it said 

This man is nothing 

This course is nothing 

If you want something 

Go find a better class 

And when you find one 

You'll be an actress 

And I assure you that's what 

Finally came to pass 

Six months later I heard that Karp had died 

And I dug right down to the bottom of my soul 

And cried 'cause I felt nothing 

I mean I didn't want him to die or anything 

But
