First Song Lyrics

I miss the way it was
When joy came from above
And hope rang like a simple melody
We sang about that day
An innocence regained
Our eyes would open up and finally see

That's then and this is now
And we're older yet somehow
I long to know that music once again
So Jesus lead the way
And show me every day
All I have long forgotten

()
Just like the first song I remember
Every word was meant for me
And every verse and every line
Would set me free
To remember the first song I was singing
When my eyes were opened wide
When all the years of hurt were put aside
Bring back the first song

It's a wide and open door
That you don't use anymore
But you know the sun is waiting right outside
It takes a moment now and then
'Till the words come back again
From a place you've long forgotten

(repeat )

I want to hear again
I want to feel again
All I've forgotten
Oh, to be free again
Just like I was back then
When everything was so exciting
New to me, new to everything

(repeat )

Oh, when my eyes were opened wide
When all the years of hurt were put aside
Bring back the first song
