Nothing Comes from Nothing ©2001 Rick Garvin
1. Nothing comes from nothing, that's what the old folks say
Everyone in life comes from somewhere, some when, some way
You want to renew, leave the past alone
Unless you know where you've been, there's no where to go.
Chorus
Don’t forget where you come from
It's with you everywhere you go from now on.
2. Nothing comes from nothing, what do the old folks mean?
It explains itself if you can dream
Everything in life goes round and round
Everyone in life has ups and downs
Even the bad times can teach you who you are
that's what I've found.
Chorus
Don’t forget who you come from
They're with you everywhere you go from now on
3. Nothing comes from nothing, that's what the old folks say
Everyone in life comes from somewhere, some when, some way
Chorus
Don’t forget who you come from
They're with you everywhere you go from now on
And life goes on.
