Rick King - Off To A Bad Start Lyrics

I was just a kid when the world fell apart
Parents' car met the train left me with a heavy heart
Life hit me hard like a storm in the night
Lost in the darkness looking for the light

Fell to my knees screaming out loud
Why does life have to be so damn proud?
But I picked up the pieces found a new way
Decided to live for a better day

Off to a bad start but I'm not done
Taking every blow and turning it into the sun
Lost and found I've been all around
Off to a bad start but I won't stay down

Friends came and went love turned to dust
Every loss a reminder of who I can trust
But in the ashes I found a spark
A fire within me lighting up the dark

Fell to my knees screaming out loud
Why does life have to be so damn proud?
But I picked up the pieces found a new way
Decided to live for a better day

Off to a bad start but I'm not done
Taking every blow and turning it into the sun
Lost and found I've been all around
Off to a bad start but I won't stay down

Every tear every scar a lesson learned
In the fire of life I've been burned
But from the flames I rise anew
Stronger braver ready to push through

Off to a bad start but I'm not done
Taking every blow and turning it into the sun
Lost and found I've been all around
Off to a bad start but I won't stay down

Life's a journey with twists and turns
From the pain the wisdom earns
Off to a bad start but I found my way
Turning the bad into a brighter day

Life's a journey with twists and turns
From the pain the wisdom earns
Off to a bad start but I found my way
Turning the bad into a brighter day
