You First
Courage Unveiled: Embracing Heroism in Life's Challenges
Lyrics
The river looked much wider
The river appears wider than it did before.
Than it ever seemed before
Despite crossing it numerous times, the river seems different.
Even though we crossed a hundred times or more
Repeated crossing of the river, but there's a sense of unfamiliarity.
We were scared, so we dared each other
Fearful, yet challenging each other to take the lead.
You first, and I'll be right behind you
Encouraging someone to go first, with a promise to follow closely.
You first, I'll meet you on the other side
Reaffirming the commitment to meet on the other side.
The nature of a hero requires a leap of faith
Being a hero necessitates taking a leap of faith.
You find out what you're made of when it's your time to say
Discovering one's true strength when facing a defining moment.
You first
Reiteration of the directive to go first.
The chopper drops the ladder
A helicopter deploys a ladder in the midst of a war.
In the middle of the war
Describing the chaotic environment of war.
Sergeant says, "There's only room just one more"
Limited space on the ladder, prompting a choice.
Two wounded brothers, and one says to the other
Two injured comrades faced with a decision.
You first, and I'll be right behind you
Encouragement to take the lead in a perilous situation.
You first, I'll meet you on the other side
Commitment to reunite on the other side.
The nature of a hero requires a leap of faith
Reiteration of the hero's leap of faith.
You find out what you're made of when it's your time to say
Highlighting self-discovery during challenging moments.
You first
Repeating the directive to go first.
Now, I'm standing over you
Standing over someone, possibly reflecting on shared experiences.
All these years that we've been through
Recalling the years of companionship.
I wish it could be me
Expressing a desire to take the other person's place.
I never thought that it might be
Unexpectedly facing the possibility of going first.
You first, but I'll be right behind you
Reassuring to follow closely after the other person.
You first, I'll meet you on the other side
Commitment to meet again on the other side.
You always were my hero, here's my leap of faith
Acknowledging the other person as a hero and taking a leap of faith.
You find out what you're made of when it's your time to say
Emphasizing self-discovery during challenging moments.
You first
Repeating the directive to go first.
