Nothing to prove

I will always remember Pat for this phrase. Finally came across the song. That's how I want to live my life.
"Nothing to prove, nothing to lose, nothing to hide"

Check out the words of the chorus.



Nothing to prove


You taught me how to ride a bike
To tie my shoes and fly a kite
How to swim and how to fish
To see a star and make a wish

It's ok to make mistakes
Just don't get stuck in yesterday
Forgive, forget and move ahead
Because life is what you make of it

Now you're gone and all I have
Are memories I hold deep
But if I'm quiet, I'll hear your voice
Still ringing in my ears


[Chorus]
Saying live with no excuses
Love with no regrets
Laugh a lot and leave this life
With nothing left unsaid
Make this world a better place
Don't be afraid to cry
And when it's finally time to say goodbye
Nothing to prove, nothing to lose, nothing to hide

You see, life cannot be measured by
The place you live, the car you drive
The thing that counts the day you die
Is who you are, and what's inside

So tell the truth, don't ever lie
Integrity at any price
Your words your bond, your highest price
So guard it close, and live your life

So many things, I learned from you
'bout life and love and play
But I learned more by how you lived
Then what I heard you say

[Chorus]
Live with no excuses
And love with no regrets
Laugh a lot and leave this life
With nothing left unsaid
Make this world a better place
Don't be afraid to cry
And when it's finally time to say goodbye
Nothing to prove, nothing to lose, nothing to hide

[Bridge]
I only want to live my life
Half as well as you
To leave behind what I received
Is all I want to do

[Chorus]
So I live with no excuses
And I love with no regrets
I laugh a lot and I leave this life
With nothing left unsaid
Make this world a better place
Don't be afraid to cry
When it's finally time to say goodbye
When it's finally time to say goodbye
When it's finally time to say goodbye
There's nothing to lose, nothing to prove, nothing to hide

Wow. Thanks for introducing the song to me. Don't we all wish we could live our lives the way the words of the song hold us up to. Inspiring. And this is possible only when we truly have nothing to fear.
