The First of You
A lush, melodic pop-rock anthem. It features bright, cascading piano arpeggios, a driving but melodic bassline, and soaring orchestral string arrangements. The vocals are warm and celebratory, delivered with a fatherly or protective affection that builds into an anthemic, wide-screen chorus.

Lyrics
Verse 1
You’re standing at the open door
Not like anyone before
Your eyes are wide, your mind is clear
There is no room for doubt or fear
You’re a secret just revealed
A power that was once concealed
Chorus
You are the first of you I’ve known
In a garden you have grown
Don't try to hide your natural grace
Or wear a mask upon your face
You’re a wonder, you’re a prize
The morning in your very eyes
Verse 2
The world will try to pull you down
To make you wear a common crown
But you have wings they cannot see
A wild and precious energy
So take the risk and take the flight
Into the morning, clear and bright
Chorus
You are the first of you I’ve known
In a garden you have grown
Don't try to hide your natural grace
Or wear a mask upon your face
You’re a wonder, you’re a prize
The morning in your very eyes
Verse 3
I’ll be the one to watch you go
To see the seeds you start to sow
You don’t belong to yesterday
You’ve found your own and better way
So beautiful, so strange and true
The very best version of you
Chorus
You are the first of you I’ve known
In a garden you have grown
Don't try to hide your natural grace
Or wear a mask upon your face
You’re a wonder, you’re a prize
The morning in your very eyes
