Beginnings and Ends – Version 1

I learned about the world in my neighborhood

Sounds of children playing, just like they should 

But I heard your cry and I wished you could

Know about the future but its sounds no good

I thought about the moment that we said goodbye 

Told you that I loved you and it made me cry 

I prayed about redemption, I prayed about time 

But they left without you and I wonder why 

But I know that You remain 

I remember you in my memories

Standing there alone by the kitchen sink

I learned about forgiveness, I hoped you could

Think about your family like you know you should

I’ve thought about beginnings and I’ve thought about ends

I’ve thought about the years that I called you friend

I long for the moments that I thought we’d mend

I learned about hearts and all their brokenness

But I know that You remain 

I know about goodness and I know about love

I know it from the pages of the Word above

I thought about time, how I wished it’d cease

But I know the bitter taste will be turned to sweet

But I know the bitter taste will be turned to sweet

And I know You remain
