BEGIN TO BEGIN
Start small,
Take a deep breath.
You might have to crawl,
before you take those baby steps.
And if you fall,
or even lose the will to try,
Yea, if it’s too hard to laugh, well,
it’s alright, if you cry.
And when the darkness fades away,
Will you let that Light stay,
Yes will you let the higher part of you come through?
And in the morning when you wake,
And your hands and bones are all shaking,
Start to begin to begin.
Why do I wander,
Everything is underneath these stars.
Oh and I hunger for the answer,
But it’s all here underneath these scars.
And when the darkness fades away,
Will you let that Light stay,
Yes will you let the higher part of you come through?
And in the morning when you wake,
And your hands and heart and bones are all shaking,
Start to begin to begin, breathe in,
Start to begin to begin.
I’ve been waitin’ for you my love,
for all of my life.
You could be the one I’ve been dreaming of,
If I could only get it right, if I could be enough,
And see myself as worthy of receiving Love,
To learn to love all that lies within,
What can I do to begin to begin to begin
Yes, start to begin to begin.
