Breathe

With every waking breath I breathe
I see what life has dealt to me
With every sadness I deny
I feel a chance inside me die

Give me a taste of something new
To touch, to hold, to pull me though
Send me a guiding light that shines
Across this darkened life of mine

Breathe some soul in me
Breathe your gift of love to me
Breathe your life to lay 'fore me
Breathe to make me breathe

For every man who built a home
A paper promise for his own
He fights against an open flow
Of lies and failures we all know

To those who have and who have not
How can you live with what you've got
Give me a touch of something sure
I could be happy ever more

Breathe some soul in me
Breathe your gift of love to me
Breathe your life to lay 'fore me
Breathe to make me breathe
Breathe your honesty to me
Breathe your innocence to me
Breathe your word and set me free
Breathe to make me breathe

This life prepares the strangest things
The dreams we dream of, what life brings
The highest highs can turn around
To sow love's seeds on stony ground

Breathe...Breathe...
Breathe some soul in me
Breathe your gift of love to me
Breathe your life to lay 'fore me
Breathe to make me breathe
Breathe your honesty to me
Breathe your innocence to me
Breathe your word and set me free
Breathe to make me breathe
