THE FIRST DAY
(ONE BIG JOKE - track 4)
Words and music - Pete Morton

Go and paint a picture like a child don't bother who's there
Nobody cared on the first day
Go run across the meadows of joy where it all began
You were in clover on the first day
Just like it was on the first day
Things you said on the first day
The way it was on the first day
Go and write a story like a child from beginning to end
Do your best to defend the unknown
Go and row the boat into the sea and never come back again
Ride on the waves of the unknown
Just like it was on the first day
Things you said on the first day
The way it was on the first day
Go and write a song like a child yes and sing it to every one
Everyone sang on the first day
Go and paint a picture like a child and don't bother who's watching you
Nobody cared on the first day
Just like it was on the first day
The things you said on the first day
The way it was on the first day
The way it was on the first day
The things you said on the first day
The way it was on the first day
