Second Breath

When I sit and then look back,

It feels like yesterday.

The phone call that I had

— I didn’t think it could be true.

I don’t know what to say,

As I write this song for you.

All these words and memories,

Thinking what to do.

I don’t even know

who you are, Or where you’re from.

But you mean so much to me

— You gave me the gift of life.

I raise a glass each year,

And see how far I’ve come.

Each day that passes,

I’ll always think of you.

Your kidney’s been on trips,

It’s seen the ocean blue.

Every breath I take,

Is a thank-you meant for you.

I don’t even know

who you are, Or where you’re from...

But you mean so much to me —

You gave me the gift of life.

I raise a glass each year,

And see how far I’ve come.

Each day that passes,

I’ll always think of you.

Another year, another chance,

Your heartbeat lives in me.

Through every song, through every dance,

Your spirit’s running free.

I don’t even know who you are,

But you gave me the gift of life...

And I’ll carry you with me,

Every single night.
