Nothing's Ever Wasted

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 conception my sense of direction

I lost a child and I lost my doubt

I lost my mother 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 somehow it's sacred

And I'm well aware what people can bear

When there's a reason for them to face it

Nothing is ever wasted

Not the sweet or bitter fruit I've tasted

Nothing is ever wasted
