Song Description

This is our most special song written from Mary Jo's point of view shortly after we first met. It moves musically and lyrically from the darkness of broken hearts and dimmed dreams to the virtual ecstasy that often accompanies a new beginning - this song came at a time when we were both "starting over" together.

Lyrics

VERSE 1) Wounded and weary and fragile
My heart had battled and lost
Choices I'd made left me crying
I hadn't counted the cost

Questions without any answrers
Why for what good can this be
Then like a gift unexpected
Love sent an angel to me

CHORUS) Now I can start all over again
Like a springtime flower that is born again
I can feel the hand of God upon my head
I can start all over I can start all over
I can start all over again

VERSE 2) I dreamed of music and laughter
Singing a song was my role
How could I know what came after
Would silence the song in my soul

Oh they say keep the faith and be hopeful
In spite of severe circumstance
Just when I began to believe that it was hopeless
I had received a second chance

CHORUS) Now I can start all over again
Like a springtime flower that is born again
I can feel the hand of God upon my head
I can start all over I can start all over
I can start all over again

BRIDGE) I can sing again
And I can laugh until I cry again
Now heaven's in my eyes again
I can see it evey day
Shining bright to light my way
Springing up from my soul
Makes my heart overflow

CHORUS) Now I can start all over again
Like a springtime flower that is born again
I can feel the hand of God upon my head
I can start all over Gonna' start all over
I can start all over again
