Its been quite the journey, hasn't it?


Its been quite the journey, hasn't it?

My first words, calling out for dad

My first steps, becoming your double 

Its been quite the journey, hasn't it?

My first tears, watching that never opened door

My first games, seeing an empty stadium

Its been quite the journey, hasn't it?

My first plays, looking for my eyes in the crowd

My first grades, finishing homework by myself

Its been quite the journey, hasn't it?

My first hug, dreaming of the day 

My first thought...

Its been quite a journey, hasnt it?

...second

My second thought, you were there, crying besides me

My second thought, you were there, cheering me on

My second thoought, you were there, staring back into your eyes

My second thought, you were there, struggling with my homework 

My second thought, you were there...

It's been quite the journey, hasn't it?
