breathe in, breathe out
we’re lucky to be here
sometimes it’s overwhelming and we wanna disappear
so lock your loving self away
and i’ll protect you dear
don’t think about the world out there
i will hold you in my care
and you and i will stay here
where it’s safe and all is fair
just breathe
don't leave
it's hard enough to love in peace
stay safe
stay smart
don't go into the storm
don't start
you never know how bad the winds may be
until you go and you don't come back to me
we take it slow although eventually we have to leave
just breathe
just breathe
don't leave
it's hard enough to love in peace
although when the storm is wild and wide
we crave protection and so we stay inside
when those we adore need our faith, our love, our pride
we cannot hide and so we rise
and breathe
and we finally leave
that place of isolation
thoughts of desolation
it's hard to love but still
though a bitter tasting pill
we will live with passion
seethe with anger
grieve our losses
and love our neighbor
just as long as we can
breathe
