Lyrics

If I Can Just Breathe
Roy Hurd

When I feel broken crashin and burnin
Paralyzed but the world keeps turnin
Vision narrows options dwindle
My fire’s dying no spark to kindle
The hands of darkness close and tighten
My fists come up ready for fightin
But if I can just breathe
Let go and surrender
Something shifts and I remember

Chorus:
So I go where the pine trees listen
Turn my sorrow to prayers of thanksgiving
My heart opens wide and
I find the place where my faith’s been hidin
It all comes back to me
If I can just breathe

I’ve been wondering why we get so guarded
Is the whole wide world so broken hearted
Love is there right where we left it
The optimistic become so skeptic
All this doubt is hard to handle
I need control and I start to scramble
But if I can just breathe
Let go and surrender
Something shifts and I remember

So I go where the pine trees listen
Turn my sorrow to prayers of thanksgiving
My heart opens wide and
I find the place where my faith’s been hidin
It all comes back to me
If I can just breathe
