From the recording THE CROP
Lyrics
START HERE<br />
<br />
Heartbreak heats up with a cold sigh;<br />
Goodbyes all start up with a “Hi!”<br />
Downfalls are kicked off by a tug;<br />
Indifference begins with a shrug.<br />
<br />
Impairment begins with that first drink;<br />
Blindness begins with that first blink.<br />
Depression drops with that first tear;<br />
Paranoia pops from that first fear.<br />
<br />
One thing’s perfectly clear:<br />
You can start far away,<br />
You can start pretty near.<br />
You want to start something,<br />
Start here.<br />
Start here.<br />
<br />
War wages from that first weak shove;<br />
Obsession starts out as meek love.<br />
Idolatry leads from a prayer;<br />
Compulsion creeps alongside care.<br />
<br />
Affliction follows that first scratch;<br />
Addiction adores that first match.<br />
Failure files in when you step back;<br />
Poverty prowls from that first lack.<br />
<br />
One thing’s perfectly clear:<br />
You can start far away,<br />
You can start pretty near.<br />
You want to start something,<br />
Start here. <br />
Start here.<br />
<br />
Gambling goes up with a coin toss;<br />
Persecution presents a cross.<br />
Indecision slides in with doubt;<br />
Apprehension pushes you out.<br />
<br />
Bankruptcy writes that first bad check;<br />
Deception never cuts the deck.<br />
Hypocrisy starts with one mask;<br />
Moral decline – “Don’t tell; don’t ask!”<br />
<br />
One thing’s perfectly clear:<br />
You can start far away,<br />
You can start pretty near.<br />
You want to start something,<br />
Start here.<br />
Start here.<br />
Start here.<br />
Start here.<br />
<br />
