First Love
by Larnelle Harris

Album: First Love

I'm somewhere way past lonely
And I'm thinking about the way it used to be
When my life was so full and free
I don't remember leaving
But looking back, I've come a long, long way
I guess what I'm trying to say
I thought I was a captive
With no freedom of my own
But the further I traveled
The more I longed for home

I'm going back to my first love
For the fire burns and my heart still yearns
To go back to my first love
Well, I never should have walked away
Look at where my heart's been
Every road just seemed to end
But to find the peace that's waiting up ahead
I've got to go back to my first love

No, I can't explain it
How the Father always seems to know
This struggle within my soul
Although He could have held on
His love was strong enough to set me free
Without letting go of me
Don't know how He found me
In this barren desert land
The springs of living water
Are calling me again

I'm going back to my first love
For the fire burns and my heart still yearns
To go back to my first love
I never should have walked away
Look at where my heart's been
How every road just seemed to end
But to find the peace that's waiting up ahead
I've got to go back to my first love

Seems every star in the sky
Has been waiting for this day
They dance through the heavens
Leading the way
Leading the way

I'm going back to my first love
For the fire burns and my heart still yearns
To go back to my first love
I never should have walked away
Look at where my heart's been
Every road just seemed to end
But to find the peace that's waiting up ahead
I've got to go back to my first love

Back to my first love
Back to my heart
(Back to my first love)
Back to my love
Back to where it started
(Back to my first love)
Well, back, back, back to my first love, yeah
(Back to my first love)
