Begin
from the album "A Golden Field of Radioactive Crows"

(Music by Bruce Spencer Words by Bruce Spencer/Mike Roe)


you say
everything is gray
in your head
they all wanna run you out
you just wanna stay in bed
time's taken every bit of your confidence
stolen all your dreams
no recompense
could you imagine just one more dream?
and do you know i'm still yours for the asking
if you ask me
if you wanted to
you could come out
and say what you wanna do
am i
in the past?
just a moment of the times that you've had?
to begin
(somebody's gonna be surprised)
to love
(somebody's gonna feel the lightning)
begin
(somebody's gonna live the life the love that lasts a lifetime)
i say
whatever took away your hope and courage
seems to pale when put against
your own rich inheritance
time makes
just a little bit of difference
you could live and learn and
love again
you were the one
that said run from you
but can you remember
a time when i ever
really wanted to?
if you wanted to
you could come out and say
what you wanna do
am i
a piece of your past?
just a little moment of the times
that you've had?
to begin
(somebody's gonna be surprised)
to love
(somebody's gonna feel the lightning)
begin
(somebody's gonna live the life the love that lasts a lifetime)
how high
(somebody's gonna see the light)
can love rise?
(somebody's gonna feel the frightening
somebody's gonna realize
the love is right beside them)
how high
can love rise?
will it see the end?
we'd last a long time
when will we begin
to love?
begin
