Beginning The World Lyrics - Innocence Mission

I was home by the winter 

I was home from the school town, undecided. 

And questions came, like, 

What did you say you're doing now? 

Well, I, I had hopes for my music and I imagined their faces said 

Well you can't do that, you silly thing 

God, He gave me a brave heart 

But God, He gave me a chicken head and I felt I'd failed 

I am always beginning the world 

Beginning the world 

Aren't you bursting with butterflies on the fourth of September? 

Like you'll have to get on the bus in your tartan dress, with your lunch box. 

Though your body is twenty-nine, though your mind is an old thing. 

I mean, don't you ever get sigh 

I am always beginning the world 

Beginning the world 

I am always beginning the world 

Beginning the world 

Always the same underdog stance 

Under the same happy sad sky 

Eternally crying, am I still shy? 

I am always beginning the world 

Beginning the world 

I am always beginning the world 

Beginning the world, beginning the world
