Lyrics

TRY THE BEGINNING AGAIN

Turn the last page of your novel.
Looks like you've come to the end.
Just when you're cursing the author,
try the beginning again.

Every good story has trials,
bad breaks and true or false friends.
Every good hero gets knocked down,
try the beginning again.

I'll be your first page, your last hope,
your hand up that steep slope.
In strange lands, a known face,
the light in your dark place.
I'll be your first star, your last wish,
the prize at the finish,
a cool breeze at days end,
and I will be your best friend.

Running in races is easy,
with fresh legs and wind at your back.
But the further you go,
the more your load grows,
and the world lets you know
what you lack.

Just when you figure it's over.
The end of your rope is at hand.
Down on your luck for the last time,
try the beginning again.


I'll be your first page, your last hope,
your hand up that steep slope.
In strange lands, a known face,
the light in your dark place.
I'll be your first star, your last wish,
the prize at the finish,
a cool breeze at days end,
and I will be your best friend.

I'll be your first thought,
the last word,
good news that you just heard.
A bridge over rapids,
dry road when your wheel skids.
I'll be the first blush of daylight,
the last stroke at midnight,
the rain for your garden,
and I will be your best friend.
