Ready to Begin (feat. Walker Burroughs)

All your years had rushed away

When he left to go his way

Leaving you alone and lost

As your children's eyes stared

Seeking answers in despair

You found strength to save them at all costs

You worked through the dark

To a future with question marks

Trying to hold on so long

And hurt held within

A heart that reached the end

From facing many years of wrongs

And now your life's end is near

Fading time has allowed

You to heal from a life penalized

While reliving children died

Punished thoughts brought tears inside

But your love was magic to their lives

You worked through the dark

To a future with question marks

Trying to hold on so long

And hurt held within

A heart that reached the end

From facing many years of wrongs

You gave so much of yourself

There was no more to give

Carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders

Countless guilt you had to endure

Now the sun's rising just beyond the fray

To lead your worthy life to better days

Where your childhood dreams

Opened truth between extremes

And the unending hurt that weighed you down

Packed its bags when God said leave her now

Time to embrace inner peace and begin to live

Opened eyes see reason for a life ready to begin
