The Beginning

from the beginning by David Burchfield

lyrics

When these things creep up on me
Like wolves from the trees
I am trapped and discovered
By my footprints in the snow

Were I to run the other way
Looking for some escape
I would run into some other trap
Without knowing

[ What can I d - o?
What have I done?
Just to gain another chance
to get aw - ay
A moment in the sun
The wheat shines brown
Some clear blue Kansas sky
Just might save me.]

But she’s persistently good
And the weather’s turning fine
And some hopeful intuition
Of your power just comes to mind

And little graces to me
Like finding money on the street
And then giving it away
Just prove you love me

[Chorus]

My brother in another state
Calls me up some days
And I cannot help but ache
For the grief he has made

Like getting tangled in a web
Or tripping over your own feet
Some freedoms can be traded away
Accidentally

[Chorus] 2x
