For the first time
For the first time I see the blue sky, For the first time I hear the blackbird sing, For the first time I smell the scented roses, For the first time I feel the warm night air. How could I have been so blind? How could I have been so deaf? I have stumbled through life in darkness, Now you lead me to the light. No longer will I lie afraid at night, Afraid of the ghosts of my past. No longer will I shamefully submit, To those who have no power over me. For the first time I live, For the first time I need, For the first time I care, And for the first time I love.
