Learning To Breathe lyrics

Oh, this road is long,

this road is wide,

It takes more than luck

to last the ride,

It takes strength and

it takes courage to survive,

And did someone ever say to you,

"There's nothing bound in thought

you cannot do?"

Well, I've seen some things

but not all of them came true.

So I don't want to be the last,

I don't want to be the first,

Don't want to be alone

with my thoughts tomorrow,

And I don't want to be afraid,

don't want to look away,

I'm learning to breathe

on my own.

And I know a man who lost his wife,

This is the way he chooses

to describe his life,

He says, "If I think too much,

I find there's just a hole",

But before she went, she left a son,

He says, "Dad, you're not the only one,

Maybe love is just a requiem for the soul..."

So I don't want to be the last,

I don't want to be the first,

Don't want to be alone

with my thoughts tomorrow,

And I don't want to be afraid,

don't want to look away,

I'm learning to breathe,

No I don't want to be the last,

I don't want to be the first,

I just need a hope and a light to follow,

Like sailors look to stars

to find their way home,

I'm learning to breathe on my own.

Oh, do you still feel small?

Just a speck of life on an ocean wave,

Does it pull us all?

Does it pull us all?

So I don't want to be the last,

I don't want to be the first,

I just need a hope and a light to follow,

Like sailors look to stars

to find their way home,

I'm learning to breathe on my own.

I'm learning to breathe on my own.

I'm learning to breathe on my own.
