lyrics

WHEN YOU HAVE NOTHING

When you have nothing, daughter, no one will talk to you, for there’s no telling what you’ll ask them for. When you have nothing, daughter, no one can take from you, so there’s no reason to deadbolt your door. When you have nothing, daughter, it’s hard to find your place. Some need to judge you by possessions. When you have nothing, daughter, your home is everywhere. You own no roof that acts to cage you.
And if they turn away then smile and keep on walking. All those who crave debate defeated, without talking.
You’re really something, daughter. The moon that shines on you has shined on every queen and hero. You’re really something, daughter. The sea embraces you. The sun is here to burn off sorrow. You’re really something, daughter; a smiling, burning light; the cat that sleeps within the garden. The seasons favor you. The world unfolds, unending, and every dawn extends a pardon.
