First Generation

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] I feel the pressure of your life I don't wanna let you down But I'm not sure how And I promise I'll try I promise I'll fly Promise I'll make you proud [Verse 2] 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 about fear Because of what you did to get us all here [Chorus] And I feel the pressure of your life I don't wanna let you down But I'm not sure how And I promise I'll try I promise I'll fly Promise I'll make you proud [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] And I promise I'll try I promise I'll fly Promise I'll make you proud
