"Here Goes Nothing" lyrics

"Here Goes Nothing"

If only I could see myself through your eyes for a day
I wonder just how I might fare when love comes into play
I know that I don't give as much as I so often take
I guess its just old habit keeps me putting on the brake

If only I could see it all less darkly through the glass
A world yet unimagined soon must surely come to pass
And when instead of shadow light comes shining through
Perhaps I'll find forgiveness for the things I can't undo

Here goes nothing I've got nothing left to lose
I'm a man in search of meaning use me any way you choose
If it serves some greater purpose by fate or simple deed
Thy will be done in your name I'll go anywhere you lead
Here goes nothing, I've got nothing left to lose

Ooh ya ya oh
Ooh ya ya ya ya yay
Ooh ya ya Om My Lord
Ooh ya ya ya ya yay

If only I could take it in from somewhere out in space
Some other worldly port of call, some future time and place
Where the things that really matter have no tether to the past
And in each and every moment I'm a free man born at last

Here goes nothing, unlike every time before
This time it could be different this time there could be more
This time the stars could fall in line for reasons yet untold
The gift of one more second chance to come in from the cold
Whereby providence and mercy lost and ragged souls are blessed
I hope someday to be there lord among your honored guests
Here goes nothing, here goes nothing, here goes nothing
I've got nothing left to lose

Ooh ya ya oh
Ooh ya ya ya ya yay
Ooh ya ya Om My Lord
Ooh ya ya ya ya yay
