It's A Start
Embracing New Beginnings: Shawn Benfield's Anthem of Resilience
Lyrics
Well I've been down this road before
Expressing familiarity with a challenging situation or experience.
And I don't wanna go anymore
Declaring a reluctance to revisit a difficult past.
My body is running out of gas
Describing physical exhaustion or fatigue.
I've been playing these dives since I's thirteen
Recalling a history of performing in less prestigious venues since adolescence.
I've been picking up and losing speed
Highlighting a cycle of progress and setbacks in the journey.
Just trying to find a place to call my own
Expressing the desire to find a permanent and personal place.
It's a start
Acknowledging the beginning of a new phase or endeavor.
A shot in the dark
Describing the initial step as uncertain and risky.
But baby I don't care
Indicating a lack of concern for potential challenges.
It's a start
Reiterating the significance of the starting point.
A shot in the dark
Reinforcing the idea of taking a chance despite uncertainty.
But I gotta start somewhere
Emphasizing the necessity to begin the journey despite uncertainties.
Well I am thirty three today
Stating the current age and the aspiration for a better path.
And I'm trying to find a better way
Expressing an active effort to improve one's situation.
To get these songs to all that care to hear
Desiring to share musical creations with those who appreciate them.
I'll beat these strings till I can't breathe
Committing to persistent effort in playing musical instruments.
At least I'll leave a part of me
Leaving a lasting impact through the creation of meaningful art.
A story for someone else to tell
Creating a narrative that can be passed on to others.
It's a start
Reiterating the commencement of a new phase or project.
A shot in the dark
Characterizing the initial step as uncertain and challenging.
But baby I don't care
Expressing indifference to potential obstacles in the beginning.
It's a start
Highlighting the importance of the initial step in the journey.
A shot in the dark
Emphasizing the courage to take a chance despite uncertainties.
But I gotta start somewhere
Affirming the necessity of starting the journey from somewhere.
