When Will My Life Begin?



Seven a.m., the usual morning line-up (B / E)
Ready for class, the weather forecast is clear (B / E)
Head to the bus with coffee and cream in my cup (C / G)
As I wait, I know I'm late (B / E/G#)
Nothing's changing this year (F#m / B)
But I will do my work (E / A)
Yes I will persevere (F#m / E)
They tell me there's a reason (C#m / F#7)
For my coming here (A / E)
And as I reach for something (C#m / F#7)
That is still unclear (A / B / C#m)
I wonder, when will my life begin? (F#7 / B / E)

Don't get me wrong, it's all with a song in my heart
I love to learn, these pages I'll turn with cheer
But I sure hope that one day I can do my part
Working for something more
Than my hopes and my fears
And I am not alone
Yes, I have company
I have my friends and family who will walk with me
And hopef'lly we'll admit we are all desperately
Just wond'ring, when will my life begin?

And there must be more than (F#m)
What I know in my head (G#m / A)
Of that I'm sure (C#m / B / F#m)
I am waiting on a train that's already left ((F#m) / G#m / A)
Am I on board? (B)

And I can't just wait
For all the dust to clear
That dust is part of me
Real life is happening here
And we are all just dust
But even dust is dear
And questions help us begin again

And I am not alone
Yes, I have company
I have my friends and family who will walk with me
And maybe we'll admit we are all desperately
Just wond'ring
When will my life begin? (F#7 / B / C#m / B / F#7)
When will my life begin? (A / B / C#m / B / F#7)
Oh, let me begin (A / B)
Again (E / B / C#m / B / F#7 / A / B / E)
