Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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 through

Send me a guiding light that shines

Across this darkened life of mine

[Verse 2]

Breathe some soul in me

Breathe your gift of love to me

Breathe life to lay for me

Breathe to make me breathe

[Verse 3]

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 evermore

[Verse 4]

Breathe some soul in me

Breathe your gift of love to me

Breathe life to lay before me

To see to make me breathe

Breathe your honesty

Breathe your innocence to me

Breathe your word and set me free

Breathe to make me breathe

[Verse 5]

This life prepares the strangest things

The dreams we dream of what life brings

The highest highs can turn around

To sow love's seed on stony ground

[Verse 6]

Breathe

Breathe

[Verse 7]

Breathe some soul in me

Breathe your gift of love to me

Breathe life to lay before me

To see to make me breathe

Breathe your honesty

Breathe your innocence to me

Breathe your word and set me free

Breathe to make me breathe
