Nothing's Ever Wasted - Carrie Newcomer
I lost the car  I lost the house
I lost the job   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
I 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
