for the first time

Singer: legend, john

is that music in my ear?

it's like i heard nothing for a thousand years

my eyes were closed

locking in my tears

i was so surrounded but still all alone

a great big house but so far from home

how'd you breathe life in this heart of stone

it's like i can feel

it's like i can breathe

it's like i can live

it's like i can love

for the first time

for the first time

for the first time

for the first time

ohhhh. i'm electric

finally exposed

you see through me

strip off all my clothes

if this is falling

then let me go

oh

it's like i can feel

it's like i can breathe

it's like i can live

it's like i can love

for the first time

for the first time

for the first time

for the first time

i'm finally awake and i can feel my heart

it's beating like a drum when i'm right here where you are

i can feel it

i can feel it

oh

can you feel it

it's like i can feel

it's like i can breathe

it's like i can live

it's like i can love

for the first time

for the first time

for the first time

for the first time

it's like i can feel

it's like i can breathe

it's like i can live

it's like i can love

for the first time

for the first time

for the first time

for the first time
