Not for nothing

Not for nothing did you wander Wingspan wider than a condor Above the tumult down below In desert heat or cold of snow Not for nothing did you survive Years of dying to stay alive Eager for something to be born Like a sheep flock freshly shorn Not for nothing, it's really something A lame man finds that he can walk Not for nothing, it's really something To hear a mute child start to talk Not for nothing, it's really something You wake up and want to live Not for nothing, it's really something You find you finally can forgive A man came from Galilee, Said the truth will make you free But why did he endure the cross? The joy before him dimmed the loss Something inside you wants to hide Do you have something to confide? Do you have something to confess A hurt, a grievance lacks redress? Not for nothing, it's really something A lame man finds that he can walk Not for nothing, it's really something To hear a mute child start to talk Not for nothing, it's really something You wake up and want to live Not for nothing, it's really something You find you finally can forgive
