First Man On Earth

Am I the first man on earth
To really feel this way
To hold my child And then be blown away

I don’t remember asking my mother
Trust me she said
I’ll love you forever and ever

No Pollution
No illusions
Just solutions
Holding a bubble of cotton wool
Not letting him fall

Slowly drifting
See him sleeping
Maybe dreaming
I’ll keep his innocence close to me
For eternity

Am I the first man on earth
To really feel this way
To hold my child And then be blown away

I don’t remember asking my father
Trust me he said
I’ll love you for ever and ever

And I wonder ‘bout the future
Big computers
Running his life like a Sci-Fi film
He’s overwhelmed

I don’t remember how it got crazy
How we got lazy
And messed up the world for a piece of cake
Is it all too late

Am I the first man on earth
To really feel this way
To hold my child
And then be blown away
