Where I Began
by Caedmon's Call

The grass looked greener on the other side
So I tried to, snatch myself from your hand
Caught a boat to anywhere but Nineveh
And, well you know, I got spit back on dry land

Give me purity and give me continence
But oh no, not yet
Like a coin hiding in the corner
Trying not to be swept
And I was trying not to be swept

Kicking against these goads
Sure did cut up my feet
And didn't Your hands get bloody
As You washed them clean
(You washed them)

Here I am again, back where I began
Try as I may I can't get away from you
And all of these roads lead me to roam
Bring me back home
Here I am again, back where I began

So You have yourself Your ninety nine (ninety nine)
Isn't that enough for You?
Still You followed me to the shadowed valley
Carried me on Your shoulders too

I've done the work of Sisyphus
Thinking that I could get over this hill
But the one thing I can't get over now
Is the, is the force of your will

Here I am again, back where I began
Try as I may I can't get away from you
And all of these roads lead me to roam
Bring me back home
Here I am again, back where I began

Here I am again, back where I began
Try as I may I can't get away from you
And all of these roads lead me to roam
Bring me back home
Here I am again, back where I began

Where I began
Where I began
Where I began
Where I began
