Just the Beginning

Music & lyrics, 2005

This is the beginning
Of a new life
Of thunder and lightning
And leaving your mark upon the earth

Can you hear the singing
Of a hundred thousand souls?
Sending you’re their light
Sending you their love for this new birth

Look ahead with wonder
To the road that lies ahead
Never just reach for a silver moon
When you can touch the stars instead

The joys of a friend and lover
As the day turns into night
And a hundred million galaxies
Illuminate your dance of life

This is the time
This is the place
This is the moment
To embrace
Celebrate this day forever
Celebrate this life together

This is the fire
This is the taste
This is the love
This is the grace
That’ll leave you breathless, sighing
That’ll leave you crying out for more

This is the beginning
Of a new dream
A ship of love, the ocean calls
Set sail upon these seas

Can you hear the whispers
Carried on the wind?
You will travel far, travel well
Wherever you are is home again

This is your time
This is your place
This is your moment
To embrace
Celebrate this day forever
Celebrate this life together

This is your fire
This is the taste
This is your love
This is the grace
That’ll leave you breathless, sighing
That’ll leave you crying out for more
