Breathe

by Maria Lisa Polegatto

My heart was pounding
Racing faster than I could run
My body left behind in the dust
As the clouds swirled around my head
As my thoughts raced on
I knew it all along
But when the truth sets free
Emotions run high about
It's good to get it out
So let's try to breathe again
Breathe in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Hold 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Breathe out 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Hold 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Now do it again
Calm your mind
Now breathe as you try again
You are free from the lies
The truth is like that
It always sets you free
Free to breathe again.
