There's nothing to gain when there's nothing to be lost.
There's nothing to gain if you stay behind and count the cost.
Make the decision that you can be who you can be,
You can be.
Tasting the fruit come to the Liberty Tree. (Peter Gabriel)

There's nothing to gain when there's nothing to be lost. There's nothing to gain if you stay behind and count the cost. Make the decision that you can be who you can be, You can be. Tasting the fruit come to the Liberty Tree.
