Breathe life in
Breathe life in
Let things out
With your rooms overflowing
It's hard to stay light
Let life in
Breathe things out
Have a rest if it helps
Have a walk in the wild
There's no need to go far
Nor to escape from the crowd
Let life in
Breathe things out
Put your feet on the street
And go seeking the world
Which is there to be found
And to fill your soul
Greet the light
as day begins
Breathe things out
Let life in
