Bonnie “Prince” Billy
Is My Living in Vain?
[Verse 1]
Is my living in vain?
Is my giving in vain?
Is my praying in vain?
Is my fasting in vain?

[Verse 2]
Am I wasting my time?
Can the clock be rewind?
Have I let my light shine?
Have I made ninety-nine?

[Chorus]
No, no, of course not
No, no, of course not, it is not all in vain
It is not all in vain, because up the road is eternal gain

[Verse 3]
Is my praying in vain?
Is my labor in vain?
Is my singing in vain?
Is my speaking, is it in vain?

[Verse 4]
Is my playing in vain?
Is my praying in vain?
Is my labor in vain?
Is my singing, singing in vain?
[Chorus]
No, no, of course not
No, no, of course not, it is not all in vain
It is not all in vain, because up the road is eternal gain
