Only The Beginning

V1.

In the beginning, there’s sorrow and tears

There’s worry and wonder and too many beers.

Questions unanswered and trying to cope.

Targeting fault in the crosshairs of the scope.

Pointing of fingers and placing of blame.

Sleepless nights spent tossing turn to walks in the shame.

Uncontrollable thoughts that set my world spinning.

Getting my heart broke was only the beginning.

Chorus

Those first baby steps and then learning to run.

Discovering who I am as a party of one

Started making my days count and stopped counting days.

Launching my new life, Now I’m well on my way

Finding new passions that I’d had all along.

Penning the lyrics to my very first song.

Pulling myself up along the way to winning.

Getting my heart broke was only the beginning.

V2.

A new way to live in a new way of life.

Falling in love with my awesome new wife.

Moved away to a place where no one knew my name.

A place where new hope is replacing the shame.

Living by a new motto of faith over fear.

Quit my old job for a brand new career.

The frown on my lips has been replaced by constant grinning.

Getting my heart broke was only the beginning.

Chorus

Those first baby steps and then learning to run.

Discovering who I am as a party of one

Started making my days count and stopped counting days.

Launching my new life, Now I’m well on my way

Find new passions that I’d had all along.

Penning the lyrics to my very first song.

Pulling myself up along the way to winning.

Getting my heart broke was only the beginning.
