The First Lyrics

The first time that I heard him laugh

I felt so safe and calm inside

The first time that I heard him swear

I trembled and I ran to hide

Since the first time that he picked me up and told me to go on

Since the first time that he let me go and he knew that I was wrong

This is the first time that I've told him, that I'm proud to be his son

The first time that I shook his hand

I felt so proud and felt so strong

The first time that I left his house

It seemed so far and it felt so long

Since the first time that he picked me up and told me to go on

Since the first time that he let me go and he knew that I was wrong

This is the first time that I've told him, that I'm proud to be his son

The first time he asked me to write

Reflecting thoughts inside his heart and head

The first time that I heard him cry

He'd seen the truth in what I said

Since the first time that he picked me up and told me to go on

Since the first time that he let me go and he knew that I was wrong

This is the first time that I've told him, that I'm proud to be his son
