Lyrics

"Back Where We Began"
(male)
It seems like only yesterday
Holding you moments after birth
You were my hope of better tomorrows
Washing away all of my doubts.
You gave me reason to be a better man
That's when my life truly began

(female)
I remember the very first time
Coming home late to find you there,
You had to know that I was alright.
Holding me close you kept me safe.
You gave me desire to be a better woman
That's when my life really began

Chorus
You're never really far away at all
I feel you close when I shut my eyes
(male)
You know I'll be there whenever you need
All the strength I have to help you through
(female)
You know you've given me all that I need
Just loving me is enough to see me through
(both)
Because no matter where I am in life's plan
I know in my mind I always can
Find a way back to where we began.

(male)
It seems like only yesterday
(female)
Coming home late to find you there
(male)
You were my hope of better tomorrows
(female)
Holding me close you kept me safe.
(both)
You helped me to be a better (man/woman)
That's when my life surely began

Chorus
You're never really far away at all
I feel you close when I shut my eyes
(male)
You know I'll be there whenever you need
All the strength I have to help you through
(female)
You know you've given me all that I need
Just loving me is enough to see me through
(both)
Because no matter where I am in life's plan
I know in my mind I always can
Find a way back to where we began.

(refrain both)

Because no matter what God has planned
We know in our minds we always can
Find our way back to where we began.
