You First

The river looked much wider than it ever seemed before

Even though we crossed a hundred times or more

And we were scared

So we dared each other

You first

And I'll be right behind you

You first

I'll meet you on the other side

The nature of a hero requires a leap of faith

You find out what you're made of

When it's your time to say

You first

The chopper drops the ladder in the middle of the war

Sergeant says there's only room for just one more

Two wounded brothers, and one says to the other

You first

And I'll be right behind you

You first

I'll meet you on the other side

The nature of a hero requires a leap of faith

You find out what you're made of

When it's your time to say

You first

And now I'm standin' over you

All these years that we've been through

I wish it could be me

I never thought that it might be

You first

But I'll be right behind you

You first

I'll meet you on the other side

You always were my hero

And here's my leap for faith

You find out what you're made of

When it's your time to say

You first
