This Is the Beginning
Embrace Tomorrow: Rising from Shadows with Chet Atkins and Suzy Bogguss
Lyrics
You've been knocked down you've been dragged out
You've faced challenges and difficulties.
You've been misled and left for dead in the shadow of doubt
You've been deceived and abandoned in moments of uncertainty.
Over your shoulder is your only view
Your past experiences are behind you, and the future is uncertain.
And all I can say is don't let yesterday get the best of you
Don't let past mistakes or failures dictate your present.
This is the beginning this is not the end
The current situation is a new beginning, not the end.
This is not the time to be lyin' down and finally givin' in
Now is not the time to surrender or give up.
This world keeps spinning around and again and this is the beginning this is not the end
Life continues with its ups and downs; embrace the start of a new phase.
Runnin' leaves you breathless standin' makes you swoon
Running may leave you exhausted, while standing still might make you feel overwhelmed.
Fightin' leaves you layin' down and stayin' down and prayin' it's all over soon
Fighting can lead to defeat, and sometimes it's better to endure and hope for a swift resolution.
Who knows what's waiting further on up the track
The future is uncertain, and the path ahead is unknown.
One thing I know is there ain't no road gonna take you back
No matter the challenges, there's no going back to the past.
Cause this is the beginning...
Reiterating that the current moment marks a new beginning.

One day you're flyin' next day you crawl
Life has its highs and lows; one day you're soaring, and the next, you're struggling.
Next day you don't know why you can only fly so high till you begin to fall
There are moments of confusion and descent after reaching a peak.
But sooner or later you'll go it alone
Ultimately, you'll face challenges alone, responsible for your own journey.
There's only one job and there's nobody's problems to solve but your own
Emphasizing personal responsibility; you have to solve your own problems.
Cause this is the beginning...
Reiterating that the present marks a new beginning.
No this is not the end yeah
Affirming that it's not the end; more experiences and challenges lie ahead.
