Nothin' Ventured Nothin' Gained lyrics

I went out for a walk one evening

Feeling low, I just didn’t care

I saw an old man standing on a park bench

Waving his arms up in the air

I said: “What in the world do you think you’re doing?”

He said: “I’m warming up, getting ready to fly”

Old man, you must be crazy

That’s when he looked me right in the eye and said

Nothin’ ventured, nothin’ gained

Sometimes you have to go against the grain

To find the sun you gotta face the rain

Nothin’ ventured, nothin’ gained

Nothin’ ventured, nothin’ gained

I shook my head and I kept on walking

I thought to myself, now I’ve seen everything

This world is full of impossible dreamers

Ain’t no doubt this one is going insane

I turned around and he was still flapping

His arms up and down, leaning in the air

I yelled: “Old man, wake up you’re dreaming

You ain’t goin’ anywhere”

He just said

Nothin’ ventured, nothin’ gained

Sometimes you have to go against the grain

To find the sun you gotta face the rain

Nothin’ ventured, nothin’ gained

Nothin’ ventured, nothin’ gained

But much to my surprise

His feet came off the ground

And as he went flying by

He turned my heart around

I started singing

Nothin’ ventured, nothin’ gained

Sometimes you have to go against the grain

To find the sun you gotta face the rain

Nothin’ ventured, nothin’ gained

Nothin’ ventured, nothin’ gained
