Begin Again
What will you say when you find out I am gone?
What did you do when you said no to that walk?
I know we had a good run
Now I'm ready for the next part
I hope you learn to listen to your heart
Because I know I was there
How did I sleep through the storm?
I woke up and all that stood was this door
I looked for a piece of paper
But I didn't have the strength to sing
Remember when I ate a chocolate oatmeal cookie
And I didn't taste a god-damn thing?
Sometimes I wasn't there
It's always time for me to
Begin again for the rest of my life
Greed is when what you need is not enough
It's easy to forget how quick abundance shows up
In the form of wildflowers blooming
On this hill with no name or trail
In the form of an old woman smiling
Because she's not afraid to fail
And she's strong as hell
I want to hear you paint your dream-noon sky
That way, when the sun sets, you won't have to wonder why
I wish I could be there
It's always time for me to
Begin again for the rest of my life
