Tracy Chapman - The First Person On Earth - Текст песни

From the water 
From the rock 
And the dirt 
You were 
The first person 
On Earth 

Oh the mountains 
And the oceans 
Wiynessed 
Your birth 
The first person 
On Earth 

By a river 
On the banks 
Of a sandy shore 
Untouched clean 
Fresh and pure 
The first person 
On Earth 

In the light 
Of the sun 
You emerged 
To see the good 
In the world 
Before the pain 
And the scourge 
The first person 
On Earth 

In the quiet 
In the calm 
Before 
The storm 
You heard 
The dream 
For a love 
That never dies
In a poem 
The first person 
On Earth 

And I'm in love 
With you 
I'm in love 
With a dream 
That can not be 
Realized 
Held or seen 
By 
The last person 
On Earth 

After 
The earthquakes 
The hurricanes 
The fires 
And floods 
I'm 
Jaded cynical 
Angry and glum 
The worlds 
Too absurd 
And obscene 
For true love 
And more 
Than happy 
To let me become 
The last person 
On Earth 

To let me stand 
On a rock 
The Muddy Waters 
Surround 
Abandoned alone 
The end 
Soon to come 
As the last person 
On Earth 

As 
The waters rise 
At the end 
Of the world 
Thought I bear 
The weight 
Of the rock 
And the dirt 
I know 
I'm worthy 
Of your love 
As 
The last person 
On the Earth 

As the water rise 
At the end 
Of the world 
Thought I bear 
The weight 
Of the rock 
And the dirt 
I know 
I'm worthy 
Of your love 
As the last person 
On the Earth
