Begin Again

(альбом: Continental Breakfast (In Bed) - 2020)

I see your reasons
I see your fears
I see the pain that has been building up for years
We've lived together
But we've walked alone
No destination just
A struggle to be one

If I were wiser I could learn to talk
Without telling you what to think
If I were stronger I would lift you up
Instead of pushing us to the brink
So tonight I hope my heart can find
Something more to give
Then maybe we can begin again

This fire on the mountain
Now burns in the street
And under the ashes are the scars of history
Like a quilt sewn together
Our stitches aren't shown
We're trying to build futures while we're still broken at home

If I were wiser I could learn to talk
Without telling you what to think
If I were stronger I would lift you up
Instead of pushing us to the brink
So tonight I hope my heart can find
Something more to give
And maybe we can begin again
Maybe we can learn to forgive again

We struggled as leaders
We struggled as friends
But the heart of the matter
Is the measure of a man
Beaten down by the tide
But still chasing the wave
And hoping that history will favor the brave

If I were wiser I could learn to talk
Without telling you what to think
If I were stronger I would lift you up
Instead of pushing us to the brink
So tonight I put my hope in that
I have more to give
And maybe we can begin again
Maybe we can learn to forgive again
Maybe somehow we can begin again
