(hummmm) (ahhhh) The winter sat heavy on my chest so
long
Counting every hour till the hurt was gone
Walking through the fog with my head pulled down
Wondering if my feet would ever find solid ground (ooh)
Then morning broke open on the ridge above
Soft as forgiveness,
patient as love
Felt the tight knots
start to untie
Now I breathe freely in the open air
Leaving all the heavy sorrow right there
Every single scar is a lesson I keep
Waking up joyful from a troubled sleep
Yeah, I breathe
freely now
(breathe freely now)
I let go of the promises that turned to
rust
Watched them blow away in a trail of dust
There's a green shoot coming through the stony trail
A clear steady gust right behind my sail
Now I breathe freely in the open air
Leaving all the heavy sorrow right there
Every single scar is a lesson I keep
Waking up joyful from a troubled sleep
Yeah, I breathe
freely now
(breathe freely, yeah)
(oh I can feel it) (sun on
my face)
No more running
in place
I can breathe again
(hummmm) Just open wide Peace on the other side
