1. Daddy scoots across the floor
He wheels that big cart 'round the store
Though he can't see much anymore
He's got so much to look for
There's just so much to look for
Chorus: He's not the same as way back when
But he's his braver self again
He's hoping somewhere 'round the bend
He'll find a new beginning
Find a new beginning
2. Mama moves from place to place
That patient look etched on her face
A notebook filled with names and prayers for grace
A circle just for healing
A circle just for healing.
Chorus: She's not the same as way back when
But she's her braver self again
Believing somewhere 'round the bend
We find a new beginning
Find a new beginning
Bridge: So, on in time we go
That clock isn't movin' slow
Like we are and we know-o-o( woe, woe, woe)
3. I push a rock on up the hill
It tumbles down almost at will
I hear the laughter loud and shrill
And I want to throw my hands up
Just want to throw my hands up
Chorus: I'm not the same as way back when
But I'm my braver self again
And when that rocks rolls down the hill
I find a new beginning
Find a new beginning
4. I'm on the dock, I missed the boat
Some of my friends are gonna gloat(I told you so)
How can I keep this dream afloat
Beside an empty harbor
Beside an empty harbor?
Chorus: I'm not the same as way back when
Now I'm my braver self again
And when my ship comes rolling in,
I'll find a new beginning
Find a new beginning
Find a new beginning
Find a new beginning
