The First Words Lyrics & Chords By Gwen Stacy

[Sometimes it's necessary to put things in a very basic, a very plain, way.]

Don't let them make you think, let them make you think your doubt is disbelief.

[This lesson is entitled: The Facts of Life.]

It's time you finally listen to the things I have to say.
I've been talking with no response.
It's time for your attention.
Are you ready to listen?
Now listen for what you've missed every time before.

In this conversation with the known unknown,
Mouth shut, eyes wide, ready and willing.

I've let open the skies this very night.

I'll sit and wait while the stars they take their time.
Because I'm starved with empty hands, and I've been, I've been a broken man.
Oh pilot of pilots come fly me home.
I'm coming, coming to say goodnight.
If I have one more day to live.
Then I have one more day to fight.

Sometimes it's just too hard to make myself believe,
That you'll catch me when I fall.

Don't let them make you think, let them make you think your doubt disbelief.

I'm not about to pretend to be something that I'm not.

["Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away." Life is, indeed, fleeting.]
