If you find a time when things just seem to fall apart
  And there's no way to keep a cheery face
  When the sight of your own reflection only breaks your heart
  And all your dreams have given up the chase
  
  Pick up the telephone
  You know I'm always home
  Any old time of night or day
  Let me be the first to know
  Let me be the first to know
  Let me be the first to know
  
  If you find a time when you just have to walk away
  Because of a call to pastures new
  You're in need of some fresh words to wish you on your way
  You need to fly on up and touch the moon
  
  Sharing this temporary weight
  No time to hesitate
  I will be everything you need
  Let me be the first to know
  Let me be the first to know
  Let me be the first to know
  Let me be the first ...
  
  We're water breaking on an endless wave
  Potential bursting from the sea
  Compassion is what sets our minds apart
  Be cheerful when you break
  The chains of morality
  
  Oo, sharing this welcome weight
  Don't even hesitate
  I will be everything you need
  Let me be the first to know
  Let me be the first to know
  Let me be the first to know
  Let me be the first to know
  Let me be the first one to know
