It's got to be the first time, darling When everything starts that way
And it can come when you least expect it A lifetime starts in a day, oh yeah
You know that I won't hesitate And I won't just shy away
And when all is said and done I will survive this trial but
Initiation, initiation
It's got to be the first time, darling That's what the wise men say
And as you know they've carved the roads On which we tread every day, oh yeah
You know that I won't compromise And I won't just shy away
And when all is said and done I will survive this trial but
Initiation, initiation
Initiation, yeah, the wheels will turn Initiation, from all of this I learn
And I hear the bells are ringing And I hear the toll of chains
Cause there's, there's got to be A first time, darling
When everything starts that way, oh yeah
You know that I won't hesitate And I won't just shy away
And when all is said and done I will survive this trial but
Initiation, initiation
Initiation, yeah, the wheels will turn Initiation, from all of this I learn
Initiation, oh won't you hear my plea Initiation, takes the best of me
Initiation, this is my initiation
