Gil Scott-Heron - Beginnings (First Minute Of A New Day) Lyrics
Mmmmm
We're sliding through
Completely new
Beginnings
We're searching out
We're winning
We want to be free
Yet we have no idea
Why we are struggling here
Faced with our every fear
Just to survive
We've heard the sound
And come around
We've touched the vine
Time after time
Insisting
We know what life brings
Still we can find a way
From dues we've got to pay
We hope we'll somehow say
That we're alive
We're sliding through
Completely new
Beginnings
We're searching
Our every doubt
And winning
We want to be free
Yet we have no idea
Why we are struggling here
Faced with our every fear
Just to survive
Completely new [x2]
Beginnings
Completely new [x2]
Beginnings

We know you live in Gil, but we miss you comrade..
I concur ! GR. Brian Jackson, "Stick".
Such a great and beautiful song.
When Gil Scott Heron was on Saturday Night Live he did a lively rendition of Johannesburg. Nothing that awesome is featured, or rather, not allowed on Network TV today. Gil was also doing rap back in the 70's. Hip Hop wouldn't be where it is today without the inspiration from Gil Scott Heron.
You are speaking truth, GSH was threatening even back in the day. All prophets , are rejected or dismissed in there in lands. Gil Scott Heron and Brian Jackson are the prophets of my lifetime whom we heard. Felipe Luciano , Last Poets , Nikki Giovanni also..... Peace.
Happy New Year 2016 everyone💕
From South Africa to South Carolina... in the wake of the shootings in Charleston, I find this album title and this song to be so fitting...
We know what life brings
Still we can find a way
From dues we've got to pay
We hope we'll somehow say
That we're alive
+rnbno1fan Love all Gil"s music and this song most of all has always been
close to my heart....always was and always will be...Courage
doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quite voice at the
end of the day saying "I will try again tomorrow the first
minute of a new day"...Life lesson from Gil that will stay in
my heart until it stops beating.
Love this song.
"A lovely day" is a cut off this same album that I've loved since the first time i heard it ...True Poetry :)
Gil and Brian - the dynamic duo that made immortal music. i will always be grateful for what they gave. Gil keeps on giving his gifts; i miss him so. I wish he could have kept on making poems and music to age 100.
C'mon ppl this is the godfather of spoken word, wrap, rap, and hip-hop. This man should have 2 plus million views. He even perform on Saturday Nite Live back in the day.
If we were to really calculate how many views GSH should have it would even surpass that number, but I think Clive Davis spoke to that when he stated Gil was not going mainstream. He was a poet, musician, and extremely insightful, but his lyrics like Whitey on the Moon, We Beg Your Pardon America, etc., guaranteed his message would not resonate with mainstream America...and for that We Still Beg Your Pardon America because our brother spoke truth.
I hear you The Words Project. Yet at his live performances white folks came out in droves, I would be proudly standing in line looking and wondering where were the brothers and sisters. I also know that made Gil feel bad
(about the lack of support from Black folks), because I once spoke with him about it. We let each other down each and every time.
I miss him and I long to see his spirit in the young folk
@Y Chireau And your wish has been granted. GSH is my favorite artist and I've been bumping him since I was 14 or 15.
New Beginnings are never late unless when you hold on to old endings. Your new beginning is right on time. I wish you blessed and greater success for your next phase of life
Roger James you are precisely right. I wish the same to you brother.
Yes 2018
This touches your soul.close your eyes and just listen to it.
fantastic your words....gil scott spread harmony and peace through his words
I'm a child of Hip-Hop and know where my taste in music is rooted thanks to my mother playing music like this around the house. Even more grateful that I was fortunate to see GSH perform live. A truly remarkable artist who's words are so harmonious. My 7 year old son is already familiar with his music.
want to be your friend! jaja
I listen to this song on the eve of my 53rd bday and I think about new beginnings..but there is so much yet unfinished...is freedom truly free? Then again, free from what?
Fahim Sharad ...we are'nt free 🤔free from what ? no 1 really knows ....
That's deep.
we want to be freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was my first album and first slice of <3
His words are truth to music see you later my brother!!
Absolute beauty: the Poet is dead, long live the Poet (R.I.P.)
