First Generation lyrics

[Verse 1]

You had to run away, run for your lives

You never had a say, fought for your lives

A nurse and an engineer

Made a new life, despite all the fear

Traveled cross a couple oceans here

Made a new life, despite all the tears

[Chorus]

I feel the pressure of your life

I don’t wanna let you down

But I’m not sure how

I promise I’ll try

Promise I’ll fly

Promise I’ll make you proud

[Drop]

[Verse 2]

You met in Paris

It was snowing, and glowing

Just one year later

You were married, you carried all the weight

You made a way to get us here

Guided by hope, fleeing from fear

I never knew a thing bout fear

Because what you did, to get us all here

[Chorus]

I feel the pressure of your life

I don’t wanna let you down

But I’m not sure how

I promise I’ll try

Promise I’ll fly

Promise I’ll make you proud

[Drop]

[Bridge]

I know that you’ll never say

Just how proud you are of me

Even though it’s not the way you planned

I know you want the best for me

I get why it’s hard to see

This is who I want to be

[Outro]

I promise I’ll try

Promise I’ll fly

Promise I’ll make you proud
