Nothin' to Lose
Runnin' on empty as my tattered shoes know
Bag lady who carries the remains of your stow
Living on the edge of the tide's turbulent flow
With nothin' to lose, it's tough to bestow
============================
Competing in a race with my own worst foe
Beaten down to what lies below
Losing strength to the undertow
With nothin' to lose, it's tough to bestow
==============================
Reserves are depleted with life's energy low
My spirit is starving without the soul to grow
Suspended animation awaits the next blow
With nothin' to lose, it's tough to bestow
==============================
Like a child seeks the colors of the rainbow
Hoping for the glimmer of the sun's gold glow
Raining down peace cast in a stone's throw
Rendering me all that I need to bestow
==============================
