Just a Beginning

It was time to start spending all the rainy days
and a time to start mending all the fences that I break
The day to start naming all the voices in my head.
and a day for reclaiming all the dreams I left for dead.

I waited way too long looking for a sign
like a comet in the sky
or maybe something simpler like the candlelight.
Don’t want to let it pass me by.

It was time to reassemble all the pieces on the floor
A time to stop blaming circumstance beyond control
It was time for the first step down that long and muddy road
A time to launch my prospect into the great unknown.

Just a beginning, a place to start.
I just need the beginning, some place to start.

It was time to start listening to the wisdom of the heart.
Forget about the ending, just help me make a start.
It was time to stop remembering all the thing I might have been.
Just push me off the platform if that’s how it must begin.

I waited all my life looking for a sign
like a twinkling in your eye
or maybe something clear like writing in the sand.
Don’t want to let it pass me by.

Just a beginning, a place to start.
I just need the beginning, some place to start.
