All I Have

All I Have So life begins with naught to lose In a silent turning midnight space a lonely child in a state confused with a smile upon his face And so it begins with a virgin breath and a crying in the dark (remember) Nothing, can never leave you It doesn't even leave a mark This is all I have All I own When you start with nothing You can't miss it when it's gone So this is all I have And this is everything that I own You better listen to the howling wind You know, you'll miss it when its gone Started out on the inside I tried to work it out But on the empty page between these lines I heard a beggar shout Sing Oh! for the teacher And Oh! for the fool Sing Oh! for all the wise men But this song is for me and you Sing Oh! for the preacher And Oh! for the mule Sing Oh! for God almighty! But this song is just for me and you So life begins with naught to lose In a silent turning midnight space a lonely child in a state confused with a smile upon her face This is all I have This is all I own When you start with nothing You can't miss it when it's gone this is all I have this is all I own I might be nothing but you'll miss me when I'm gone
