Breath In - People handle situations very differently. We all see something different, even if we travel the same trail. I can make a statement and mean one thing, then the next person who hears or reads it may have an altered perception. I tried to represent the distinctive diversity in people and how we all can be so diverse. The song came to me from a memory I had on the farm with some baby gosling playing hide and seek under a pile of leaves. Who would of thought that after 30 plus years a song would come out of it. It’s magic.

Lyrics

BREATH IN BY: HOWIE ASKAY

Some laugh at fear while their backs are against the wall
Some laugh at pain and some would rather take the fall
Some cry at night when there is no one else around
Some wave and smile when they should have worn a frown

(Bridge) They have long days and they hide away
From their feelings from the emptiness
It’s so calming when they realize
That they’re not alone and that we’re by their side

(CHORUS) If your feeling buried just breath in
Take a step in the light and look down
With the place your heading in sight
Where the world wants to see you around

Some might have broken a Childs lullaby
Some lift them up and they give them wings to fly
Some break their backs to give them all they don’t really need
Some have it all without nothing good left to greed


(Bridge) If you stand back and we watch them
With their reasons reaching for something high
They fall from glory and put life on a shelf
And become a slave to pretend their someone else

(CHORUS) If your feeling buried just breath in
Take a step in the light and look down
With the place your heading in sight
Where the world wants to see you around

Places amaze me when I see all the faces and the child that looks in my eyes
Like when the goslings start crawling under leaves that are falling
Start to blow all their troubles around

Light up their eyes and let them see a world that is small
I,I,I,I want to see a friend in you all

You’ll see someone jump and leaving the ground
You’ll hear children laugh and playing around
You’ll smell and taste some kind of flavor you’ve found
You’ll feel your worlds weight is less then a pound

Now take all that you found and learn to spread it, learn to spread it around
