MALE:
For the first time in my life,
I am not outside the moment
With a camera in between me and the world
I think I know.
For the first time in my life,
I am somehow part of something.
You surround me, you connect me,
And I think I can't let go.
For the first time in my life,
You have opened up a channel
There is nothing to contain us,
We are joined, and we are free.
For the first time in my life,
I am risking something precious.
I am asking you, to please,
stay with Ame.
 G-  A-  G-
  AI can't tell you I know what the future will Gbe.
  DWho knows anything?
  AI just look at those eyes; you've got so much to sGee.

ACrowds and camels and hillsides to climb.

MALE:

For the first time in my life,

I am not outside the moment

With a camera in between me and the world

I think I know.

For the first time in my life,

I am somehow part of something.

You surround me, you connect me,

And I think I can't let go.

For the first time in my life,

You have opened up a channel

There is nothing to contain us,

We are joined, and we are free.

For the first time in my life,

I am risking something precious.

I am asking you, to please,

stay with me.
