Nothing's Ever Wasted - Carrie Newcomer

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

Nothing is ever wasted

Not the sweet or bitter fruit I’ve tasted

Nothing is ever wasted

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

Nothing is ever wasted

Not the sweet or bitter fruit I’ve tasted

Nothing is ever wasted

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

Nothing is ever wasted

Not the sweet or bitter fruit I’ve tasted

Nothing is ever wasted

All things will change, there’s no one to blame

Doesn’t 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.

Nothing is ever wasted

Not the sweet or bitter fruit I’ve tasted

Nothing is ever wasted
