I walk a little everyday
A couple of miles even when it's rainy and gray
It's been gray so long
Around the woods, around the pine
The turkey tom, a duck, a deer... and more people all the time
It's a strange walk we're on
Looking for the grasses, the pond, the trees
To teach us how to breathe... again
I wonder if we'll even know ourselves
When we come out of this cloud, look around, see everyone else
Our joy and our grief
How will we know, how to say hello, fix our broken and
Shattered peace
Our disbelief
Now let the spring, the spark, the sprouting seed
Teach us how to breathe... again
So what's the lesson, what's to learn
To testify, to make me wise to the life I thought I earned
That old crow laughs at me
I've been a fool, and I'm not alone
Building and burning through a world I pretend I own
But I can barely even see
Looking for mercy or a prayer on my knees
Lord, teach me how to breathe... again
