Beginnings

Mmmmm
We're sliding through
Completely new
Beginnings
We're searching out
Our every doubt
We're winning

We want to be free
Yet we have no idea
Why we are struggling here
Faced with our every fear
Just to survive

We've heard the sound
And come around
To listening
We've touched the vine
Time after time
Insisting

We know what life brings
Still we can find a way
From dues we've got to pay
We hope we'll somehow say
That we're alive

We're sliding through
Completely new
Beginnings

We're searching
Our every doubt
And winning
We want to be free
Yet we have no idea
Why we are struggling here
Faced with our every fear
Just to survive
Completely new
Beginnings
