First light

Give me what I ask for

Give me what I long for

First light, first light

I came to you for refuge

Don't leave me to the thieves

Don't leave me to my own

Cure my disease

First light, first light

First light, first light

Take me through the mountains

Lead me from confusion

Take me by the hand

Through real and through illusion

First light, first light

First light, first light

Give me what I ask for

Give me what I long for

Give me what I ask for

Give me what I long for

First light, first light

First light, first light

First light, oh give me what I ask for

First light, give me what I long for

First light, oh give me what I ask for

First light, oh give me what I long for
