New Beginnings

IT STARTED OUT GREAT

IT STARTED OUT SLOW

WITH SO MUCH TO LEARN

AND SO MUCH TO KNOW

MEETING NEW PEOPLE

AND MAKING NEW FRIENDS

ENJOYING THE COMPANY

HOPING IT’D NEVER END

THEN THINGS CHANGED

WENT DOWNHILL FAST

THINGS WEREN’T THE SAME

ALWAYS TOO GOOD TO LAST

I MISS THOSE DAYS

ENOYING THE TIME

LIVING THE LIFE

RUNNING ON SUNSHINE

MY FRIENDS ARE GONE

THE DAYS GROW LONG

IN A CROWD ALL ALONE

SINGING AN EMPTY SONG

READY FOR A CHANGE

A BRAND NEW START

ALL FULL OF HOPE

AND A FAITH FILLED HEART

TIME FOR STARTING ALL OVER

BEGINNING AGAIN

LIKE THE TORTOISE & HARE

IN A RACE I CAN WIN

I’VE CLIMBED SEVERAL MOUNTAINS

I SWAM AGAINST THE STREAM

TREDGED THROUGH THE MUD

& FOLLOWED MY DREAM

NOW THIS DREAM OF MINE

IS COMING FULL BLOOM

I SEE THE SUNSHINE

IN MY DARKENED ROOM

LIFE COMES FULL CIRCLE

EVERY HURDLE I’VE PASSED

LED ME TO THIS TRAIL

I’M ON THE RIGHT PATH

I KNOW IT’LL GET BETTER

IT CAN’T BE MUCH WORSE

I SEE FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD

RIDING THIS HIGH HORSE

WHILE I WORRIED ABOUT WEEDS

THE GRASS WAS ALWAYS GREEN

I HAD FORGOT ABOUT THE SEEDS

THAT CREATE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SCENE

I FEEL THE WARMTH OF THE SUN

IT’S RISING IN THE EAST

THE NEW DAY HAS BEGUN

BRING ON THE FEAST

IT’LL START OUT GREAT

IT’LL START OUT SLOW

WITH SO MUCH TO LEARN

AND SO MUCH TO KNOW

I’LL BE MEETING NEW PEOPLE

AND MAKING NEW FRIENDS

ENJOYING THE COMPANY

I HOPE WILL NEVER END
