What Have You Got To Lose
Embrace Life's Risks: What's Truly at Stake in 'What Have You Got To Lose' by The Steve Larkman Band
Lyrics
What have you got to lose, maybe
Questioning what one has to lose
The heart and soul that made you sing the blues
Possibly losing the essence that led to singing the blues
Or anything you choose 'cos you can fly far away
Freedom to choose and fly away to the past
To the land of yesterday
Referencing a distant nostalgic place
And you can spread your tiny wings
Having the ability to venture with limited capacity
But deep inside the heart that sings
Despite outward appearances, the core emotions persist
Will never let you go
Inner feelings will always hold onto you
But what have you got to lose
Raising the question again
Oh what have you got to lose
Reiterating the query about potential losses
If the worst you get is radical reviews
Suggesting that negative critiques are a minor concern
What have you got to lose?
Repeating the question for emphasis
Holidays and seasons in the sun
Referencing pleasant times and the beginning of life
The silver shining majesty of a life that's just begun
Highlighting the beauty and potential of life
Seven ways to climb their ladders to the tune
Various paths to success set to music
And the man said meet me in the morning
Meeting someone in a positive context
Out on the bright side of the moon
Pointing to a positive side or opportunity
You can go but be back soon
Encouraging departure but with an expectation to return
What have you got to lose
Raising the question again
Maybe a song and dance a cradle full of fools
Potentially losing enjoyable experiences and foolish actions
And will you pass my shoes 'cos after all
Requesting a favor despite the decision to leave
If you wanna go what will love ever know
Questioning if love will be aware of the departure
We could spread our angel wings but deep inside
Emphasizing the internal persistence of emotions
The hearts that sing will never let us go.
Ensuring that hearts engaged in singing won't easily let go
So what have we got to lose
Pondering collectively what 'we' stand to lose
What have you got to lose
Repeating the question individually
The world outside is getting me confused
Expressing confusion from external influences
And so we see the innocent accused
Observing innocence facing false accusations
What have you got to lose?
Repeating the initial question for impact
Holidays and seasons in the sun.
Recalling happy times and the beginning of life
The silver shining majesty
Reiterating the splendor of a new life
Of a life that's just begun
Emphasizing the heart and soul that leads to blues
Maybe the heart and soul
Posing a question about the essence of singing blues
That makes you sing yer blues.
What about the heart and soul
Raising the question about the core of singing blues
That makes you sing the blues?
Repeating the question for emphasis
