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
