From lyrics to "Courage to Begin" by Roger Tomhave, Tom Kimmel, & Kim-Char Meredith

From trial-and-error to error-and-trial, you've gotta do it with style.
You know you're going somewhere; … it might take a while.

It is not an easy path, and it leaves a trailing mess —
So many twists and turns up the mountain of success.
When asked if my good fortune takes a special discipline, I say, "Yes it does. It takes the courage to begin."

Oh, the courage to begin is the courage not to stop.
You got to keep on moving from the bottom to the top.
Fail early, fail often, and when you feel like giving in,
Remember how you started and the way you start again is the courage to begin.

…Every time I start, it might fall apart.
Still, I'm on my way.
Oh, it might seem the farthest run.
But, … the first step is the hardest one.

Inspired by lyrics to "I'll Meet You where You Are" by Melinda Wood Allen & David Roth:

When days are not okay, we won't pretend.
If it's not okay, it's not the end.

We have come all this way together and we'll keep growing together.

If God had hands, there'd only be one on your shoulder.
If God could speak, the words would bless everything you do.

Whatever has happened has come to pass. We'll meet together in a higher place.

Inspired by lyrics to "Now I'm Free" by Faith Rivera":

One small step I take today. One small thing to start a change.
I'm just one but when it's begun, there's no stopping me now.

Once I opened my heart, now there's room left for me.
I can love so much deeper, 'cause there's love for me.
And my life, it is richer than I've ever seen. Now I'm free.

One big world I find today. One big leap I get to take.
I'm the one who's walked, now I'll run! There's no stopping me now.

I'm the one who's walked. Now I'll run, then fly!
Now I'm free. So, you're free. We are free!
