I saw it afar of
Looking with eyes of surprise
Expecting the unexpected
“Cos its the first attempt
I dared attempting it
Thinking about it
Scared life out of me
‘Cos its the first attempt
The first step towards
Then the second un-forgetable one
Then the increase of the heartbeats
‘Cos its the first attempt
Very now I was
Close to the closest spot
Then another increase in the fear
‘Cos its the first attempt
Now I got there
Then I knew
That there were really nothing in it
‘Cos its the first attempt
Take this from me
Dare the first attempt
Courage yourself to moving to it
‘Cos its the first attempt
Yes, you’ll make it
No fear after the first
No panding of the heart
‘Cos its the first attempt
