Nothing to Lose

Father help me please
As I lay me down to sleep
I fear they’ll take my soul before I wake
Shield me from disease
Set my restless mind at ease
You’ve got no clue what is at stake
And I went to the doctor just to see if he would tell me that everything was wrong
Cause strange things have shown themselves to me;
It makes me wonder just how we might fare along, fare along

[Chorus]
‘Cause I’ve seen sin and I’ve watched it win
Like the hope we’ve got is these bones that we’re in
“But the joke on me,” fear laughs wildly
“Is the love that knows there’s nothing to win, nothing to lose.”

Push and pull
The busy mind, impatient soul
Yes, badness is manifold it seems
Cause mathematically there isn’t much that comforts me
But goodness, that’s [?] simply
You play for little things
Please pull me from the string
It ties itself in knots and chains
And as I trail your glow the temporary’s letting go
And suddenly, I don’t feel any pain

[Chorus]
‘Cause I’ve seen sin and I’ve watched it win
Like the hope we’ve got is these bones that we’re in
“But the joke on me,” fear laughs wildly
“Is the love that knows there’s nothing to win.”

Yes, I’ve seen sin and I’ve watched it win
And the only hope I had was the bones that I was in
“But the joke on me,” fear laughs wildly
“Is the love that knows there’s nothing to win, nothing to lose.”

Nothing to win, nothing to lose
Nothing to win, nothing to lose
Nothing to win, nothing to lose
