First Things First Lyrics by Stephen Stills

Stills

1975

[Verse 1]
First things first
When you can quit livin' in the past
And you stop worryin' 'bout tomorrow
Then I think you just might last

[Chorus]
And I know the price of freedom
Gettin' more than a little high
With these angry days of sorrow
We find the meaning of a lie
So I sing about first things first
Ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]
First things first
Remember everything you pass
And when it's time to go on back
Remember to put the first things back

[Outro]
And I know the price of freedom
Gettin' more than a little high
With these angry days of sorrow
We find the meaning of a lie
So I sing about first things first
First things first, woah-oh-yeah
First things first
First things first
First things first...
[Fade]
