There's something 'bout the morning sun, a day's begun anew Reminds me to appreciate the mystery of you To see a bird soar in the sky I've often wondered why We take so much for granted, we're too blind to see the view Sometimes I lose my way Just existing everyday Drifting away from where my heart belongs When my heart belongs to you And it all begins with you The secret of life is walking closer to the truth Even the mountains bow to you The stars are ornaments in the sky, they testify That it all begins with you The more of life I live to see, I feel more like a child The lessons that I have to learn I know will take awhile And if it takes eternity, I hope your plan's for me Surround me with the gift of joy and make my days complete Embrace me with your love And help me rise above Show me the way to keep the faith So I won't forget to say That it all begins with you The secret of life is walking closer to the truth Even the mountains bow to you The stars are ornaments in the sky, they testify That it all begins with you Oh, there's love in wind my hope is alive When I keep my eyes on you Oh there's peace in my heart 'cause I've got a friend Who'll forever be the strength to carry me through, carry me through I know it all begins with you The secret of life is walking closer to the truth Even the mountains bow to you The stars are ornaments in the sky, they testify You're the reason why, and it all, all begins with you
