Kleistsjug - Love Is a Gamble Lyrics

Love is a gamble
But here's how you heed
Give what you're able
And take what you need

Jesus was a gambler
And it seems a little sad
Judas gave nearly nothing
But took everything he had

Yet Jesus will be living
While Judas struggles on
Wondering who's the martyred king
And who's the fated pawn

Love is a gamble
But here's how you heed
Give what you're able
And take what you need

Gandhi was a gambler
He did all that he could do
Fighting toward brotherhood
For men he never knew

Then an assassin's bullet
Found him somewhere in the street
But the love that lived in Gandhi
Ne'er a bullet can defeat

Love is a gamble
But here's how you heed
Give what you're able
And take what you need

Berrigan was a gambler
He tried to right a wrong
Praying at peace vigils
And singing protest songs

His love was pure and simple
He believed in a righteous cause
But to show the world the crimes he saw
He had to break some laws

Love is a gamble
But here's how you heed
Give what you're able
And take only what you need
