about

This was composed as a goodbye song to friends in Tallahassee and about the challenge of all transitions. I love the meter and the guitar phrasings in the song. The last verse really encapsulates the challenge of the journey. There is a very nice version also of this song in one of the Winni Concerts.

lyrics

Nothing But Love

There’s a little bit of me in each and everyone, a little bit of you in me,
A little bit of hope and a little bit of struggle and a whole lot of God’s blessings,
There’s a little bit of faith and a little bit of burden and a little bit of change of heart,
A little bit of loss in everything we gain and a little bit of end at the start.

Chorus:
And oh, nothing stays the same,
And oh, everything must change,
And after all is said and done there’s nothing that remains,
Nothing but love. Nothing but love.

We’re a little Superman, if we really think we can, and Wonderwoman when we’re put to the test,
We got a little bit of classy, a little bit of trashy, and some Lassie when we’re at our best,
We got a little bit of Bush and a little bit of Nixon, as much as we don’t want to admit,
A little Thich Nhat Hanh, a little Chaka Kahn, and Henry Aaron when we make a big hit.

Chorus:
And oh, no one stays the same,
And oh, everyone must change,
And after all is said and done there’s nothing that remains,
Nothing but love. Nothing but love.

Bridge:
Step by step we make our way through rough and shaky ground,
And blind our eyes to the darker side that always is around,
And bit by bit we stumble onto life, rich and profound,
And find that it’s nothing but love, nothing but love.

There’s a little bit of tears in a parcel of laughter and joy in a real, nice cry,
A little bit of loss in the birth of baby and freedom whenever we die,
There’s a little bit of fear in the start of a journey so we wonder if we’ll ever get through,
A little despair to make us think we won’t make it and enough friends to make sure we do.

Chorus:
And oh, nothing stays the same,
And oh, everything must change,
And after all is said and done there’s nothing that remains,
Nothing but love. Nothing but love.

Nothing but nothing and love.
