Start Again

[Intro]
If you need hope, start here
One small promise, made sincere

[Verse 1]
I put a book beside my bed
A glass of water, plans ahead
I took the stairs, I learned the names
Of every doubt that fed my shame

I missed a mark, I missed a day
Still found a different kind of way
The ground got firm beneath my feet
When I kept showing up to meet

[Pre-Chorus]
Every page turns into power
Every hour builds an hour
What I practice, what I choose
Leaves a road I can't refuse

[Chorus]
I invest in the life I can become
Brick by brick till the bright days come
Learn it, build it, breathe it in
Start again, start again
If you need hope, put your hands to work
Feed your mind, let your body learn
No one takes what you make within
Start again, start again

[Verse 2]
I traded noise for a clearer room
Made a little space for something new
Called a friend before the silence grew
Kept one promise when the old ones blew

There are mornings I arrive unsure
But the smallest strength can open doors
I don't need to see the whole way through
I just need the next thing I can do

[Pre-Chorus]
Every lesson changes weather
Every habit holds me better
What I practice, what I choose
Turns a spark into a fuse

[Chorus]
I invest in the life I can become
Brick by brick till the bright days come
Learn it, build it, breathe it in
Start again, start again
If you need hope, put your hands to work
Feed your mind, let your body learn
No one takes what you make within
Start again, start again

[Bridge]
Not a promise that the hurt won't stay
Not a map that shows a perfect way
Just a pulse beneath the doubt
A door I can keep walking out

Read one more, run one more mile
Rest, then meet the morning with a smile
Health in my bones, fire in my hands
Knowledge turning fear to plans

[Breakdown]
If you need hope
Start with one thing
If you need hope
Start with one thing

[Final Chorus]
I invest in the life I can become
Brick by brick till the bright days come
Learn it, build it, breathe it in
Start again, start again
If you need hope, put your hands to work
Feed your mind, let your body learn
No one takes what you make within
Start again, start again

[Outro]
One more page, one more breath
One more step beyond the edge
What I build, I carry in
Start again, start again
