Lyrics

I'm in love with you

You silly thing

Anyone can see

What is it with you

You silly thing

Just take it from me

It was not a chance meeting

Feel my heart beating

You're the one

You could take all this

Take it away

I'd still have it all

Cause I've climbed the tree of life

And that is why

I'm no longer scared if I fall

When I get lost in space

I can return to this place

Cause you're the one

Nothing fails, no more fears

Nothing fails, you washed away my tears

Nothing fails, no more fears

Nothing fails, nothing fails

I'm not religious

But I feel so moved

Makes me want to pray

Pray you'll always be here

I'm not religious

But I feel such love

Makes me want to pray

When I get lost in space

I can return to this place

Cause you're the one

I'm not religious

But I feel so moved

I'm not religious

Makes me wanna pray

I'm not religious (I'm not religious)

But I feel so moved (But I feel so moved)

Makes me wanna pray

Pray you'll always be here

I'm not religious (I'm not religious)

But I feel such love

Makes me wanna pray

I'm not religious (I'm not religious)

But I feel so moved (But it makes me wanna pray)

I'm not religious (I'm not religious)

Makes me wanna pray (Makes me wanna pray)

I'm not religious

But I feel so moved (Makes me wanna pray)

I'm not religious

Makes me wanna pray (Makes me wanna)

Nothing fails, no more fears

Nothing fails, you washed away my tears

Nothing fails, no more fears

Nothing fails

Single

This beautiful ballad has easily become everyone's favorite album track. It was released in December 2003 on several formats. Some countries received a Nothing Fails single, while others got a Nothing Fails/Love Profusion single. The Nothing Fails maxi-single doesn't feature Love Profusion, but some bonus remixes of Nobody Knows Me. Nothing Fails didn't chart in the Billboard Hot 100, though it peaked at #1 of the Sales chart as well as on the Hot Dance / Club Play. Remixes of the song were made by Peter Rauhofer, Jason Nevins, Tracy Young and Jackie Christie.

Video

Early rumours suggested that Madonna was going to shoot a religious video for Nothing Fails in Israel. This was soon denied by her spokesperson. Months later, her manager Caresse Henry even announced that WBR had no intention to shoot a video to support this single. Instead they released a video for Love Profusion, which was released in conjunction with Nothing Fails.

Tour

Madonna opened the fourth part of her Re-Invention show with an acoustic version of Nothing Fails. Dressed in a beautiful black suit and matching hat by Stella McCartney, she was seated on the left of the stage with her acoustic guitar. During her performance, the big screens - which had closed during Bedtime Story - opened again, uncovering the large background screen which displayed the choir.
