New Beginning

Lyrics:
He said, “I’m done with trying to reach the top
The richest dead man’s still just dead
So let’s call in sick and take a walk
I want to fall in love with you again
I know we can’t undo what’s done
So let’s open our hands to forgiveness
Unlock the secrets we’ve become
And leave them all in search of
A new beginning”

It’s been amount a month
Since she threw him out
He didn’t see his boys
On Christmas morning
He said “Andy, what I can’t figure out
Is how it took this long to find the voice
That didn’t have to shout with pride
That didn’t have to shout with fear
And Andy, if she’d take me back
I think that we could make it
With a new beginning”

And I can feel a prayer rising
And I don’t even know the words
Still the groaning is the postage
And it will not be returned
Though we’re living in this rubble
Of our reckless plans and games
We are reaching for the promise
That we will not stay the same

I said “it’s over now,
I’ve got nothing to prove”
Cause I”m trying to prove that I’m all right
Here, I’m still bleeding on whites and blacks
Trying to find redemption in the fog and lights
Inside her womb my baby’s dancing
The promise of a better life
I want to be a father full of grace
And a loving husband to my wife

A new beginning

Andy re-wrote the final verse in 2006, and this is what he now plays:

And I’m tired of being an angry man.
I’ve hid inside for far too long.
buy you kept your vow
and held my hand
while I looked for God
in rhymes and songs,
now our girls are dancin
in their dreams,
the promise of a better life,
I want to be a father full of grace
and a loving husband to my wife.
