[Verse 1]
I came into this world with empty hands
Left my mother's womb without demands
And when I leave I'll take nothing away
Nothing is mine, just borrowed today
[Verse 2]
The house, the car, the money in the bank
The reputation, the social rank
All of it's on loan, passing through
Nothing is mine, this much is true
[Pre-Chorus]
Everything's temporary, nothing stays
All is passing through my days
What I grasp will slip away
Nothing is mine anyway
[Chorus]
Nothing is mine! (Everything's on loan!)
Nothing is mine! (I don't own!)
Came with nothing, leave with nothing too
Nothing is mine, passing through!
Open hands receive what's given today
Nothing is mine, this is the way!
[Verse 3]
Even my children aren't possessions
Even my spouse, even these sessions
Of life and breath and beating heart
Nothing is mine from the very start
[Verse 4]
The gifts I have, the talents too
The body, mind, the morning dew
All of it belongs to the One
Nothing is mine under the sun
[Pre-Chorus]
Everything's temporary, nothing stays
All is passing through my days
What I grasp will slip away
Nothing is mine anyway
[Chorus]
Nothing is mine! (Everything's on loan!)
Nothing is mine! (I don't own!)
Came with nothing, leave with nothing too
Nothing is mine, passing through!
Open hands receive what's given today
Nothing is mine, this is the way!
[Bridge]
NOT MINE! (On loan!)
NOT MINE! (Not owned!)
NOT MINE! (Temporary!)
NOT MINE!
Truth that sets me free! (Nothing is mine!)
From captivity! (Nothing is mine!)
Release the grip! (Nothing is mine!)
Take the trip! (Nothing is mine!)
[Breakdown]
When I stop trying to own it all
When I let the possessions fall
From my grasping hands to the ground
The deepest freedom I have found
Nothing is mine means I am free
To enjoy without captivity!
[Final Chorus]
Nothing is mine! (Everything's on loan!)
Nothing is mine! (I don't own!)
Came with nothing, leave with nothing too
Nothing is mine, passing through!
Open hands receive what's given today
Nothing is mine, this is the way!
[Coda]
Nothing... nothing... mine...
Everything... on loan... divine...
Passing through... passing through...
Nothing is mine... finally true...
