First Generation

(album: Pluto Tapes - 2018)

You had to run away, run for your lives
You never had a say, fought for your lives
A nurse and an engineer
Made a new life, despite all the fear
Traveled cross a couple oceans here
Made a new life, despite all the tears

I feel the pressure of your life
I don't wanna let you down
But I'm not sure how
I promise I'll try
Promise I'll fly
Promise I'll make you proud

You met in Paris
It was snowing, and glowing
Just one year later
You were married, you carried all the weight
You made a way to get us here
Guided by hope, fleeing from fear
I never knew a thing bout fear
Because what you did, to get us all here

I feel the pressure of your life
I don't wanna let you down
But I'm not sure how
I promise I'll try
Promise I'll fly
Promise I'll make you proud

I know that you'll never say
Just how proud you are of me
Even though it's not the way you planned
I know you want the best for me
I get why it's hard to see
This is who I want to be

I promise I'll try
Promise I'll fly
Promise I'll make you proud
