The river looked much wider

Than it ever seemed before

Even though we crossed a hundred times or more

We were scared so we dared each other

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

You 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

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

You find out what you're made of

When it's your time to say

You first

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 might be

You first

But I'll be right behind you

You first

I'll meet you on the other side

You always were my hero here's my leap of faith

You find out what you're made of

When it's your time to say

You first
