Nothing to Lose

I met a young man last winter
From a desolate village
He had nothing to lose
He’d lost his parents
He had nothing to lose
He’d seen storms and
Seasons
He’d nothing to lose
He’d lost his fields
He had nothing to lose
So when the new winds blew
And the new rains came
He watched
Reminiscent
He had nothing to lose.
