First Generation Lyrics

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

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

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

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

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

I promise I'll try
Promise I'll fly
Promise I'll make you proud

Unless It Happens To You

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

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

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

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

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

I promise I'll try
Promise I'll fly
Promise I'll make you proud

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
