[Lyrics for Carrie Newcomer – Nothing Is Ever Wasted]
V: So I lost the car, I lost the house,
I lost the job, and I lost the keys
I lost a good friend, and who I was then,
And being sure of anything
Ch: Nothing is ever wasted
Not the sweet or bitter fruit Ive tasted
Nothing is ever wasted
V: blew a kiss, to Icarus,
On brilliant wax wings
We fell to the ground
So I climbed a hill
I’m standing there still,
Arms open wide not looking down
Ch: Nothing is ever wasted
Not the sweet or bitter fruit Ive tasted
Nothing is ever wasted
V: I’ve lost pre conceptions, sense of direction,
I lost a child and I lost my doubt
I lost my mother and at one time or another
We strip it all down and toss it all out
Ch: Nothing is ever wasted
Not the sweet or bitter fruit Ive tasted
Nothing is ever wasted
V: All things will change, theres no one to blame
Doesnt it feel like it is somehow sacred,
And I am aware, of what a person can bear
When there is a reason for them to face it.
Ch: Nothing is ever wasted
Not the sweet or bitter fruit Ive tasted
Nothing is ever wasted
