John Farnham The First Step song lyrics

C Thompson, J Kravetz, and K Reid

If you wanna feed all the children

Then start by feeding one

And if you wanna find a mountain

To build your dreams upon

You need love (the heart to care)

Give me strength (the nerve to dare)

It's gonna be great when we get there

Take the first step the hardest to take

Breaking away

Take the first step whatever it takes

All the way

And you're already there

If you wanna change the system

You better build a better one

You're gonna meet resistance

But the time will come

You need hope (the will to learn)

Don't give up (the tide will turn)
