ROOM TO
BREATHE.

I used to fill the silence
With worries I could name
I used to chase the thunder
Like peace would never stay

I kept my hands too busy
I kept my heart on guard
Trying to make life softer
By holding it too hard

But now the morning moves slower
Now the sky feels wide
I don’t have to run from myself
Just to feel alive

I’ve got room to breathe
Room to lay my burden down
Room to let the quiet speak
Without the world so loud

I’ve got room to breathe
Room to let my heart believe
That life can still be gentle
When I give myself room to breathe

I don’t need every answer
Waiting at my door
I don’t need to turn each moment
Into something more

Some days are made for walking
Some days are made to heal
Some blessings come in silence
And still they come in real

Now I can leave the window open
Now I can let light in
Not as something I must carry
But something on my skin

I’ve got room to breathe
Room to lay my burden down
Room to let the quiet speak
Without the world so loud

I’ve got room to breathe
Room to let my heart believe
That life can still be gentle
When I give myself room to breathe

Let the road go where it’s going
Let the years take what they take
I have learned that softer footsteps
Can still make the earth shake

I don’t need to hold the ocean
I don’t need to own the sky
There is freedom in the breathing
When I let the hard things lie

I’ve got room to breathe
Room to lay my burden down
Room to let the quiet speak
Without the world so loud

I’ve got room to breathe
Room to let my heart believe
That life can still be gentle
When I give myself room to breathe

Room for the morning
Room for the rain
Room for the healing
Room for the pain

Room for the silence
Room to believe
Room for this life
Room to breathe
