Begin Again
A Journey of Love and Redemption: McKain Lakey's 'Begin Again'
Lyrics
I didn't want to leave you
I had no desire to part from you
I didn't want to drive away from there
I didn't want to leave that place by driving away
I guess you knew I wasn't welcome
It seems you were aware that I wasn't accepted or wanted
I guess you knew the cross you had to bear
You knew about the burdens and challenges you had to face
And I love you, I do
Expressing love and commitment
I wish I knew just where you settled in
I wish I knew where you have made your home now
I love you, I do
Reiteration of love and commitment
I hope that you are strong and safe and I hope we can begin again
Wishing strength, safety, and expressing hope for a new beginning
You were just a baby
Reflecting on your infancy
When I held you in my arms and brought you home
Recalling the moment of bringing you home as a baby
I know I wasn't perfect
Acknowledging imperfections but emphasizing mutual support through challenges
But we always held each other through the storms
Stressing the shared strength during difficult times
And I love you, I do
Reiteration of love and commitment
I wish I knew just where you settled in
Expressing a desire to know your current whereabouts
I love you, I do
Reiteration of love and commitment
I hope that you are strong and safe and I hope we can begin again
Wishing strength, safety, and expressing hope for a new beginning
I named you for my uncle
Naming you after an uncle known for kind words
He always seemed to have kind words to say
Highlighting the uncle's positive influence
And I hope that as you grow up
Expressing hope for your growth into a loving friend who finds their way
You'll be a loving friend and find your way
Encouraging a positive and loving future
And I love you, I do
Reiteration of love and commitment
I wish I knew just where you settled in
Expressing a desire to know your current whereabouts
I love you, I do
Reiteration of love and commitment
I hope that you are strong and safe and I hope we can begin again
Wishing strength, safety, and expressing hope for a new beginning
I hope that you are strong and safe and I hope we can begin again
Repeating the wish for strength, safety, and a new beginning
