First Thing

Making it work is its own form of art

The creation of something alive

The love between two is a flame all its own

That you shelter from the winds of your life

You form it and feed it and do what is needed

To make sure it\'s warm to the touch

But tend to it right and it burns through the night

When there\'s nothing, it will be enough

\'Cause there\'s a lot of pain in life

If you wanna feel the light

You\'ll dig through the thorns and the weeds

\'Til the heart grows a new pair wings

You are the first thing

That I wanna see when I wake up

Then in the evening

I\'ll hold your hand as I drift off

If life is a gamble and love is the answer

Then everything comes with a risk

You open your heart and you put down your shields

Hold your breath, you just let someone in

They see who you are, might kiss you on your scars

As they sift through the good and the bad

Your hearts intertwine, it starts changing your lives

Something stops before something begins

Blind to what the future holds

I would like to hold you now

I\'m old enough to see

There\'s a lot of pain in life

If you wanna feel the light

You\'ll dig through the thorns and the weeds

\'Til the heart grows a new pair wings

You are the first thing

That I wanna see when I wake up

Then in the evening

I\'ll hold your hand as I drift off

And in the meantime

I hope that you\'ll visit me in dreams

Then in the day time

Let\'s get together and do nothing at all

You are the first thing

That I wanna see when I wake up

Then in the evening

I\'ll hold your hand as I drift off

And in the meantime

I hope that you\'ll visit me in dreams

Then in the daytime

Let\'s get together and do nothing at all
