Every beginning

Every new day,

And every tomorrow

Soon slips away

     I reach for the fire

     I'm burned by the flame

     I live for tomorrow

     But don't know its name

Can this be beginning?

I taste of the cold

And what I remember

Is all I can hold

     I walk through ashes

     When fire is gone

     I feel them surround me

     Yet choose to move on

Feel my hands trembling

I must say goodbye

But the sorrow in parting

Is not knowing why
