Lyrics
The first step
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you wanna feed all the children
Then start by feeding one
And if you wanna find a mountain
To build your dreams upon
You need love (the heart to care)
Give me strength (the nerve to dare)
Its gonna be great when we get there
Take the first step the hardest to take
Breaking away
Take the first step whatever it takes
All the way
And youre already there
If you wanna change the system
You better build a better one
Youre gonna meet resistance
But the time will come
You need hope (the will to learn)
Dont give up (the tide will turn)
