"Begin" lyrics

I listen for the echoes of
A closing door, a mourning dove
I try to hold you closely, now
Inside my head, and all around

Where has my spirit gone?
Will the embers take?
If I can't hang on
When the levees break
And the flood rolls in
To wash away what could have been
Could I begin, begin, begin?
Could I begin, begin, begin?
And watch the morning light come in

You dream of loss
Of reaching hands
That hold you up
That understand
The hurt you feel
How deep it runs
Your sacred life
Where it begun

Where have our spirits gone?
Will the embers take?
If we can't hang on
When the levees break
And the flood rolls in
To wash away what always has been
Could we begin, begin, begin?
Could we begin, begin, begin?
And watch the morning light come in

Ohh, there was a northern star
In the back of our minds
And it led me on
Through space and time
But the light has dimmed
In fear and rage
And I lost the chance
To turn the page

Where has my spirit gone?
Will the embers take?
If I can't hang on
When the levees break
And the flood rolls in
To wash away what could have been
Could we begin, begin, begin?
Could we begin, begin, begin?
