Lyrics

With every waking breath I breathe

Expressing the continuous act of breathing and the awareness of life.

I see what life has dealt to me

Reflecting on the circumstances and challenges life has presented.

With every sadness I deny

Acknowledging and suppressing feelings of sadness.

I feel a chance inside me die

Sensing the loss of opportunities or potential within oneself.

Give me a taste of something new

Desiring something new and refreshing in life.

To touch, to hold, to pull me through

Seeking comfort, connection, and strength to overcome challenges.

Send me a guiding light that shines

Pleading for guidance and clarity in a difficult life.

Across this darkened life of mine

Describing the darkness and challenges in the speaker's life.


Breathe some soul in me

Requesting an infusion of soul and vitality into the speaker's being.

Breathe your gift of love to me

Asking for the gift of love from the source of inspiration.

Breathe life to lay 'fore me

Yearning for a meaningful and fulfilling life.

Breathe to make me breathe

Expressing the need to breathe in the essence of life.


For every man who built a home

Acknowledging the efforts of individuals to build a home.

A paper promise for his own

Highlighting the fragility of promises and personal endeavors.

He fights against an open flow

Struggling against the flow of deceit and failures.

Of lies and failures, we all know

Recognizing common challenges and setbacks that everyone experiences.


To those who have and who have not

Addressing the disparity between the haves and have-nots.

How can you live with what you've got?

Questioning contentment with one's possessions and circumstances.

Give me a touch of something sure

Desiring certainty and assurance in life.

I could be happy evermore

Expressing a longing for lasting happiness.


Breathe some soul in me

Reiterating the need for a revitalizing infusion of soul.

Breathe your gift of love to me

Asking for the gift of love to bring warmth and comfort.

Breathe life to lay 'fore me

Yearning for a meaningful and purposeful life ahead.

To see, to make me breathe

Expressing the desire to see and experience life more fully.


Breathe your honesty

Seeking honesty in relationships and interactions.

Breathe your innocence to me

Desiring the purity and simplicity of innocence.

Breathe your word and set me free

Longing for words that bring liberation and freedom.

Breathe to make me breathe

Reiterating the need to breathe in the essence of life.


This life prepares the strangest things

Acknowledging life's unpredictability and the strangeness it presents.

The dreams we dream of what life brings

Reflecting on the dreams and expectations people have.

The highest highs can turn around

Noting that the highest moments can lead to unexpected challenges.

To sow love's seeds on stony ground

Recognizing the potential for love to face difficulties and challenges.


Breathe

Repeating the plea for the infusion of life and love.
