[00:00.96] First Born
[00:01.64] The silver spoon's in the mouth
[00:03.57]
[00:04.85] Baby clothes are baby-blue
[00:09.66]
[00:10.28] Nothing's ever handed down
[00:12.84]
[00:13.53] Everything's brand new
[00:15.52]
[00:20.51] Newspaper notices heralding that great event
[00:29.07]
[00:31.31] Daddy's buddies send the flowers
[00:33.62]
[00:34.38] Mother's friends have baby showers
[00:36.68]
[00:37.24] Welcoming that Heaven sent
[00:39.55]
[00:43.48] That first born son is always the one
[00:48.34]
[00:49.47] The first to be called and the last to come
[00:53.98]
[00:55.29] He's his mother's favorite,
[00:57.10]
[00:58.41] his grandmother's too
[00:59.91]
[01:01.03] He'll break their hearts and he'll break yours too
[01:05.27]
[01:06.15] For he's the first to creep and the first to crawl
[01:10.95]
[01:12.26] The first to walk and the first to fall
[01:16.13]
[01:17.75] Every bruise is kissed,
[01:19.52]
[01:20.52] every cry is heard
[01:21.95]
[01:23.32] Every doubt's cast out with a soothing word
[01:27.32]
[01:28.13] 'Cause he's that first born son,
[01:30.50]
[01:31.31] he's that special one
[01:32.87]
[01:33.56] No matter what comes next,
[01:35.74]
[01:36.37] no matter what comes along
[01:38.36]
[01:39.61] Be it another boy or a sweet baby girl
[01:42.87]
[01:45.28] The family's the oyster and he is the pearl
[01:49.35]
[02:31.84] Some of them make it,
[02:34.39] some of them don't
[02:35.96]
[02:37.08] Some of them can't,
[02:38.58]
[02:39.76] others won't grow up
[02:41.77]
[02:57.67] In the bible of old,
[02:59.17]
[02:59.92] according to Exodus
[03:01.79]
[03:02.47] Every first born son of a Jew got axed
[03:06.84]
[03:08.09] But the one who survived with the help of God's hand
[03:12.46]
[03:13.52] Led his people to the promised land
[03:16.77]
[03:17.83] Yes he's that first born son,
[03:20.08]
[03:20.70] he's that son of a gun
[03:22.57]
[03:23.76] Just hates to walk,
[03:25.13]
[03:25.75] just loves to run
[03:27.31]
[03:28.31] He loves to run as fast as he can
[03:32.74]
[03:33.86] With life held tight in the palm of his hand
[03:37.80]
[03:38.48]
