First Chapter.(автор текста Амалия Вард)

[Intro: acoustic guitar fingerpicking, soft piano, airy pad. No vocals. 4 bars.] [Verse 1: lead vocal, warm, close mic. Acoustic guitar and piano only.] Don't compare your first page To somebody else's last You're still learning the shape Of a life that's built to last The pen's still in your hand The ink is still alive Every shaky little line Means you're still trying [Pre-Chorus 1: build, bass enters, light brushes, backing harmonies echo "slow steps" softly.] Slow steps, steady steps Through the little mess No race, no applause Just the truth you can bless [Chorus 1: full arrangement but gentle, strings enter, backing vocals echo "(Your first chapter)".] It's your first chapter (Your first chapter) It's your first chapter One page at a time Write it with feeling (With feeling) Write it with feeling Let it be enough [Verse 2: same as Verse 1, vocal slightly more confident.] The main character is learning How to stand, then move Falling on the carpet Still counts as proof A honest plotline Hits harder than a rush What lasts in the reader Is what was real enough [Pre-Chorus 2: full repeat, drums build gently, backing harmonies echo "slow steps".] Slow steps, steady steps Through the little mess No race, no applause Just the truth you can bless [Chorus 2: full repeat of Chorus 1, complete lyrics, backing vocals echo "(Your first chapter)".] It's your first chapter (Your first chapter) It's your first chapter One page at a time Write it with feeling (With feeling) Write it with feeling Let it be enough [Bridge: breakdown – only piano and voice, intimate. Strings swell slowly, backing vocals hum softly. Then drums rebuild.] Some books bloom later Some hearts take their time What you build with sincerity Will outlive the climb So keep on turning Keep on turning [Chorus 3: final, full power, strings wide, drums fuller, backing vocals louder. Complete lyrics.] It's your first chapter (Your first chapter) It's your first chapter One page at a time Write it with feeling (With feeling) Write it with feeling Let it be enough It's your first chapter (Your first chapter) It's your first chapter And that is enough [Outro: instruments fade, final line whispered, reverb tail. Silence.]
