Verse 1:

I remember when I was young

And your voice shouting loud my name

Since that moment

Never heard it quite that way

Now that I?m older 

Could you say it again


Verse 2:

I remember when I was afraid

Oh the hand I felt lead the way

For the first time in my life I felt safe

Now that I?m older

Would you lead me again


Chorus:

When the storm is out on the ocean

And the violent wind get?s to blowing

Oh take me back, back

All the way back

Oh take me back to my first love


Verse 3:

I remember when I was blind

Until your love opened up my eyes

Oh my life, flooded with your light

Now that I?m older

Would you show me again

Oh would you show me again


Chorus:

When the storm is out on the ocean

And the violent wind get?s to blowing

Oh take me back, back

All the way back

Oh take me back to my first love


Bridge:

You are real to me

I?ve known it from the start

There?s no space between 

The Heaven?s and my heart


You are near to me

I?ve never been too far

And in the in between 

You brought Heaven to my heart
