First Day On Earth

(album: Give Yourself Away - 2009)

It's your first day on earth
A long awaited surprise
We all agree you're beautiful
And that you've got your mother's eyes

And there's so much to tell you
I don't know where to start
You're so innocent and perfect
But this world we live in is not
But don't you worry about a thing now child
God is watching over us
So close your eyes and go to sleep
It's your first day on earth

It's your first day on earth
I bet your wondering who I am
It feels like God Himself brought you to us
I'm holding heaven in my hands

And there's so much to tell you
I don't know where to start
You're so innocent and perfect
But this world we live in is not
But don't you worry about a thing now child
God is watching over us
So close your eyes and go to sleep
It's your first day on earth

I'd build a castle for you
To protect you from all harm
If I thought that it would keep you safe
You'd never leave my arms
But I know that there's a life for you
That'll take you far from me
And the love of God will keep you
So don't you worry about a thing

It's your first day on earth
Gonna start praying today
That God'll send His perfect one
To steal your heart away

Cause I know that day's coming
When you'll kiss us all goodbye
You'll pack up all your favorite things
and start a brand new life

I know it's silly to say I'm a little sad today you won't always be with us
But that's a million years from now it's your first day on Earth
But tha'ts a million years from now it's your first day on Earth
It's your first Day on Earth
