Right From The Beginning



Right From The Beginning

there was a vocation to promote the population
 as a young child I would dream
 about far off places with kings and queens
 a challenge to be free was a quest for time
 living on the edge and it's going to my head
 sitting up at night all alone in bed
 following the rainbow to the sky
 I see a crystal clear vision of you pass me by
 although those many years had passed still have a reason to grasp
 the true rich music that plays on
 solace is the name of the song
 to be a beacon of light to a hurting world in need of love
 right from the beginning I could see
 real life to that of what is fantasy
 what would I be willing in which to achieve
 a decorated vase out on the patio
 points to the places where I need to go
 the closing in on a new Summers day
 pay ample time to bow the knee to pray
 others may insist it ought not be that way
 it starts from deep within
 only to obey the masters plan
 you are the vine and he is the branch
 love to get you through it if you just give him a chance
 hero's come a dime a dozen some falling from the Elm right into the oven
 suffering comes to test your faith
 learn from your mistakes & smile
 cause you knew all the great while
 right from the beginning is the true source that's always winning
