Begin!

I first heard Begin by the Wailin' Jennys song at church, West Shore Unitarian Universalist church in Rocky River about 3 years ago, it bought tears to my eyes.  It has been a favorite ever since, I listen to the Wailin' Jennys a lot at work, good for the soul!

The lyrics about "stop looking over your shoulder" hit me the most.  We need to move on... this is my new "beginning"!

"Begin"


 just wasn't right to hang on
When are you gonna learn
Sometimes things turn instead of turn out

Hey, when are you gonna stand
Stop looking over your shoulder
Me, with a head full of words
And not one useful expression
Hey, let go

We, with holes in our hearts
Were whole at the start
Our story began
We film ourselves 'til the end
Try to suspend our lives in the dark

Hey, when are you gonna stand
Stop looking over your shoulder
See, there's a sun in the sky
And a moon that will take us til morning
When are you gonna stand
Stop and begin this moment
Hey, let go
Let go (will we be the ones to understand?)...
