YOU FIRST Mac McAnally
The river looked much wider than it ever looked before
Even though we’d crossed a hundred times or more.
We were scared, so we dared each other
Chorus:
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
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 for just one more”
Two wounded brothers, one says to the other
Chorus
And 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 would be
