The First Person on Earth Tracy Chapman

[Verse 1]
From the water
From the rock and the dirt
You were
The first person on earth

[Verse 2]
Oh, the mountains
And the oceans
Witnessed your birth
The first person on earth

[Verse 3]
By a river
On the banks of a sandy shore
Untouched, clean, fresh and pure
The first person on earth

[Verse 4]
In the light of the sun
You emerged
To see the good in the world
Before the pain and the scourge
The first person on earth

[Verse 5]
In the quiet in the calm
Before the storm
You heard the dream for a love
That never dies in a poem
The first person on earth
