New Beginnings

I see myself reborn

In every generation

I look to children

For my source and my salvation

And I will build my house of rock

On their foundation stone.

I can see the new beginning

The universal loser winning

I can hear the children singing

Making a date with tomorrow.

Once I was blinded

By the light of my reflection

The mirror's eyes were moist

With tears of deep affection

I could not see my way

To make the last connection home.

The leaves of my life

Have been falling

And time rolls along

Like a wheel

The innocent games

That we once played as kids

Are for real.
