You First

The river looked much wider Than it ever seemed before Even though we crossed a hundred times or more We were scared, so we dared each other You first, and I'll be right behind you You first, I'll meet you on the other side The nature of a hero requires a leap of faith You find out what you're made of when it's your time to say You first The chopper drops the ladder In the middle of the war Sergeant says, "There's only room just one more" Two wounded brothers, and one says to the other You first, and I'll be right behind you You first, I'll meet you on the other side The nature of a hero requires a leap of faith You find out what you're made of when it's your time to say You first Now, I'm standing over you All these years that we've been through I wish it could be me I never thought that it might be You first, but I'll be right behind you You first, I'll meet you on the other side You always were my hero, here's my leap of faith You find out what you're made of when it's your time to say You first
