I cherish the day I won't go astray I won't be afraid You're ruling the way that I move This is my prayer You show me how deep love can be And I breathe your air You only can rescue me If you were mine

It's time that I make time for that Take a deep breath of mountain air Put on my glove and play some catch Wade the shore and cast a line Look up a long lost friend of mine Sit on the porch and give my girl a kiss Start livin', that's the next thing on

I cherish the day I won't go astray I won't be afraid You're ruling the way that I move This is my prayer You show me how deep love can be And I breathe your air You only can rescue me If you were mine

I want to love somebody, love somebody like you Shining down on me and you When you put your arms around me There's a new wind blowing like I've never known I'm breathing deeper than I've even done And it sure feels good to finally feel the way I do And

Because I have loved so deeply Because I haved loved so long God in his great compassion Gave me the gift of song Because I have loved so vainly Sung with such faltering breath Oh, oh, oh, the Master in His infinite mercy Offers the boon of death

It turns to silence A silence sometimes I can hear Internal violence What if I leave, could I still breathe What if I breathe, could I still be And if I leave, would I be me A struggle deep within what if I lost my hope along the way

No, I don't feel a thing. Life's going by me. And still I say, Oh God! I'm making the same mistakes. Low? I'm on empty. Try to erase all the bad times. Free? I don't seem to be. My soul remains tied to your life. Every breath you breathe deep, I feel you

And I need some new love New love, new love And I've been through mountains and seas Tryna get you to come back to me And I've been far, and I've been so deep Now I find it harder and harder to breathe I don't wanna waste no time all alone Want somewhere

Your songs remind me of swimming Which I forgot when I started to sink But somehow I forgot So I dive straight back in the ocean Take a deep breath, suck the water in my chest Drank further away from the shore And deeper into the drink Sat on the bottom

Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please, God, wake me I can't remember anything Can't tell if this is true or dream Deep down inside I feel to scream This terrible silence stops me Now that the war is through with me I'm waking up, I cannot see That
