You First Lyrics

The river looked much wider than it ever seemed before
Even though we crossed a hundred times or more
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, 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

Now I'm standing 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, here's my leap of faith
You find out what you're made of
When it's your time to say
You first
