First Song

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
