How to Breathe Lyrics

I walk a little everyday

A couple of miles even when it's rainy and gray

It's been gray so long

Around the woods, around the pine

The turkey tom, a duck, a deer... and more people all the time

It's a strange walk we're on

Looking for the grasses, the pond, the trees

To teach us how to breathe... again

I wonder if we'll even know ourselves

When we come out of this cloud, look around, see everyone else

Our joy and our grief

How will we know, how to say hello, fix our broken and

Shattered peace

Our disbelief

Now let the spring, the spark, the sprouting seed

Teach us how to breathe... again

So what's the lesson, what's to learn

To testify, to make me wise to the life I thought I earned

That old crow laughs at me

I've been a fool, and I'm not alone

Building and burning through a world I pretend I own

But I can barely even see

Looking for mercy or a prayer on my knees

Lord, teach me how to breathe... again
