Caedmon's Call - Where I Began Lyrics

The grass is greener on the other side
So I tried to snatch myself from Your hand
Caught a boat to anywhere but Nineveh
And, well, you know, I got spit back on dry land

Give me purity and give me confidence
But oh no, not yet
Like a coin hiding in the corner trying not to be swept
And I was trying not to be swept

Kicking against these goals, sure did cut up my feet
And didn't Your hands get bloody
As You washed them clean
And You washed them

Here I am again back where I began
Try as I may I can't get away from You
And all these dusty roads that lead me to roam
Bring me back home
Here I am again back where I began

So you have yourself your ninety-nine
Is that enough for You?
Still You followed me into the shadowed valley
Carried me on Your shoulders too

I've done the work of Sisyphus
Thinking that I could get over this hill
But the one thing I can't get over now
Is the force of Your will

Here I am again back where I began
And try as I may I can't get away from You
And all these dusty roads that lead me to roam
Bring me back home
Here I am again back where I began

Here I am again back where I began
Try as I may I can't get away from You
And all these dusty roads that lead me to roam
Bring me back home
Here I am again back where I began

Where I began
Where I began
Where I began
