Lyrics
Something Outa Nothing
© 1989 Paul R Anderson; Recording © ℗ 2015 Also Paul Publishing
Dear God, hear my prayer. I believe you’re out there somewhere.
So much good is going on, but so much else is missing.
Oh God, bless this place with your guiding hand.
Help us all do what it takes to make something outa nothing.
Sometimes when we least expect it a miracle comes.
We collect all the pieces, connect them together.
Who knows what we’ve got ‘till it’s done
We gotta make something outa nothing. That’s where it all begins.
And if we do it right, then everybody wins.
Sometimes you’ve got to let it out before you let it in
Making something outa nothing sometimes wins.
Come on, let’s stand united or divided we fall
We’ve got to be ready to take on the challenge
Or miracles won’t come at all
We gotta make something outa nothing. That’s where it all begins.
We’ve got to open to let the sun shine in
Sometimes we’ve got to let it out before we let it in
Making something outa nothing
Making something outa nothing sometimes wins
