I rose up gently like a swallow in the night
It's wings heavy in full flight
Moving 'cross the great divide
I bet my money on the oldest horse to win
On his last legs he come in
By the hair upon his chin
The loser took the silver pin
And it's all or nothing lately
Fruit grown on the vine
Takes its own sweet time
All or nothing lately
Raised up from the seed
Wildflower among the weeds
Take a chance on me
I'm moving gingerly between daylight and the dream
Trying hard to keep it clean
Light rays cast a golden beam
In all reality we get no guarantees
Lose the ground beneath our feet
Treading water out to sea
Depths below we may not ever reach
And it's all or nothing lately
Fruit grown on the vine
Takes its own sweet time
All or nothing lately
Raised up from the seed
Wildflower among the weeds
Take a chance on me
I rose up gently like a swallow in the night
Its wings heavy in full flight
Moving 'cross the great divide
