Ain't Askin' For Nothin'

Sometimes I close my eyes and I can see you here
Like I could reach out and touch you, you were that near
If I could be more like you I would have no fear
I ain't askin' for nothin'

If there's nothing left when we leave this earth
Maybe the Buddhists are wrong, ain't gonna be no rebirth
Maybe the Christians are wrong, ain't nothin' up above
I suppose we're just left here, with all this love

I ain't askin' for nothin', I ain't askin' for nothin'
I ain't askin' for nothin', just remember me

I know that tomorrow, that sun gonna rise and set
I see a big cloud coming, everybody will be wet
You've seen it all, I ain't seen the half of it yet
I ain't askin' for nothin'

I went to see a lady, I believe she was your friend
I put a coin in a box, lit a candle, tried to make amends
With a Mona Lisa smile, she looked at me
She said "walk on now brother, you are free"
I ain't askin' for nothin'

What do you feel when you stand around with the old grandfathers?
Can you see it in the eyes of your young sons and daughters?
Can you taste it when you drink some of that clear mountain water?
I ain't askin' for nothin'

Well I wonder, I wonder what you did today
Maybe lots of new cool stuff, so very far away
About a million light years on the other side of that door
Maybe that's what all the music, the singing and dancing is for
I ain't askin' for nothin'

So much has happened, such a long, such a short time ago
All the things we do, all the things we do not know
Throw it up in the air now, where the wild winds blow
Throw it all in the air now, let the wild winds blow
Blow it all away, every day
Every day let it blow my sin away
Every day let it blow our sins away
I ain't askin' for nothin'
