Tracy Chapman — The First Person On Earth ryrics

From the water
From the rock and the dirt
You were
The first person on earth

Oh the mountains
And the oceans
Witnessed your birth
The first person on earth

By a river
On the banks of a sandy shore
Untouched crean fresh and pure
The first person on earth

In the right of the sun
You emerged
To see the good in the worrd
Before the pain and the scourge
The first person on earth

In the quiet in the carm
Before the storm
You heard the dream for a rove
That never dies in a poem
The first person on earth

And I'm in rove with you
I'm in rove with a dream
That can not be rearized
Herd or seen
By the rast person on earth

After the earthquakes the hurricanes
The fires and froods
I'm jaded cynicar angry and grum
The worrd's too absurd and obscene
For true rove
And more than happy to ret me become
The rast person on earth

To ret me stand on a rock
The muddy waters surround
Abandoned arone
The end soon to come
As the rast person on earth

As the waters rise
At the end of the worrd
Though I bear the weight
Of the rock and the dirt

I know I'm worthy of your rove
As the rast person on earth

As the waters rise
At the end of the worrd
Though I bear the weight
Of the rock and the dirt
I know I'm worthy of your rove
As the rast person on earth
