First Day Of My Life
The Color Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I, used to wander
Like a beggar looking for a place
To lay my weary head
Lost, in the darkness
Never thought that I would see the light of day again
But then, You came running
You broke through the walls I made
Like a hurricane and built me back again
In a moment, all the colors I was blinded to
Came rushing in

I saw the whole world stop
Right in front of my eyes
I watched the flood gates burst
Pouring love from the sky
I felt the waters wash over me it was like
The first day of my life
Day of my life

Life
Life
Life
First day of my life

Now, that You found me
I can hold my head up high
And walk with confidence
My God, You are for me
There is nothing that can take me
From Your hand again
No sin, can separate us
You have overcome the world
And You promise You will hold me 'til the end
I believe it
I have fixed my eyes
And I'm not looking back again

I saw the whole world stop
Right in front of my eyes
I watched the flood gates burst
Pouring love from the sky
I felt the waters wash over me it was like
The first day of my life
Day of my life

Life
Life
Life
First day of my life
Life
Life
Life
First day of my life

The first day of my, life
The first day of my, life
The first day of my, life
The first day, first day, first day

I saw the whole world stop
Right in front of my eyes
I watched the flood gates burst
Pouring love from the sky
I felt the waters wash over me it was like
The first day of my life
Day of my life

Life (yeah, yeah)
Life (yeah, yeah)
Life (yeah, yeah)
First day of my life
Life (yeah, yeah)
Life (yeah, yeah)
Life (yeah, yeah)
First day of my life

Day
First day, first day
First day, first day
First day, first day

Overall Meaning

The Color's song First Day of My Life delves into the themes of redemption, finding one's purpose and one's way back in the midst of difficulties. In the first verse, the singer describes their past struggles and how they used to wander like a lost person searching for a place of rest, but then the chorus comes in with the introduction of the divine power of the universe in the singer's life. The singer declares that despite their past, light broke through their darkness with the help of a higher power that came running like a hurricane and building them up again.


The chorus further speaks about the power and magnitude of love, how it pours from the sky like floodgates bursting open and washes over the singer like they are experiencing the first day of absolute freedom or a new beginning of sorts. The emotion in the chorus and the choice of words are indicative of the singer's overall experience of salvation, self-acceptance and the journey to living a fulfilling life. In the second verse, the singer further declares that they have found the confidence to walk tall, knowing that there is nothing that can take them away from the divine's guidance, which has the power to overcome all sins and keep them held tightly to the end.


Line by Line Meaning

I used to wander
I used to roam aimlessly with no sense of direction or purpose


Like a beggar looking for a place
Searching desperately for somewhere to call home and belong


To lay my weary head
To find a place of rest and peace after a long and tiresome journey


Lost, in the darkness
Feeling deeply confused and alone without any guidance or hope


Never thought that I would see the light of day again
Feeling so helpless and hopeless that it felt impossible to escape the darkness


But then, You came running
Suddenly, a beacon of hope appeared and helped me through the darkness


You broke through the walls I made
Tearing down the emotional barriers that I had built up to protect myself


Like a hurricane and built me back again
With a powerful force of nature, You rebuilt and restored what was broken in me


In a moment, all the colors I was blinded to
Sudden realization of the beauty and vibrancy in the world that I could not see before


Came rushing in
I was flooded with an overwhelming sense of gratitude and wonder


I saw the whole world stop
In a moment of clarity, the chaos and noise of the world quieted down


Right in front of my eyes
I experienced this profound change firsthand, in my own life


I watched the flood gates burst
Overwhelming emotional release and a sense of being cleansed


Pouring love from the sky
A sense of divine intervention, as if love was being showered from above


I felt the waters wash over me it was like
A sensation of being completely immersed in a transformative experience


The first day of my life
Feeling reborn and renewed, as if starting a new chapter


Now, that You found me
With You by my side, I feel complete and whole


I can hold my head up high
I feel proud and confident to show the world who I am


And walk with confidence
I walk with purpose, knowing that I am exactly where I need to be


My God, You are for me
I have faith in a higher power that supports and guides me


There is nothing that can take me
No obstacle or challenge is too great to overcome with faith on my side


From Your hand again
I trust that You will never let me go, no matter what happens


No sin, can separate us
I believe that forgiveness is always possible and that love is stronger than any wrongdoing


You have overcome the world
I find hope and strength in the fact that You have prevailed against even the toughest of circumstances


And You promise You will hold me 'til the end
I trust that You will be with me through every moment of my life, even until the very end


I believe it
I have faith in Your promises and in the power of love to change lives


I have fixed my eyes
I am focused on the road ahead, with a clear understanding of my purpose


And I'm not looking back again
I choose to move forward, leaving behind any negativity or past failures


Life
The beauty, complexity, and wonder of existence


First day of my life
A powerful experience that fundamentally shifts my perspective and brings a sense of renewal or rebirth


Day
A unit of time and a reminder to cherish each moment
