Michael Tomlinson - Take The Breath lyrics

Out on the road there are memories in me

Each of them of their own place

And all the changes we all learn to live with

They turn me around every day

What's my direction, where am I going?

Sometimes I lose where I've been

And I'm spinning and whirling

And I don't understand

Chorus:

Then there are times when I realize

All the fog comes clear

Like a melody through a raging storm

That was deafening

All around us calm

There's a light that's there to see

I drove the night all alone in the desert

Dreaming about my old friends

And I wrote poem on that hill in Wyoming

And shouted it out in the wind

The wind and prairie

Were beckoning to me

Calling me out off that road

I'm a vessel that's sailing

Under no one's control

Chorus

As long as I live I need to run this way

Now it's all right to give

These useless fears away

Oh breathe it in now

Just let it out

Don't be afraid to take that breath

I love the country

And some of the cities

I love these people I meet

Who come out to show me

They hear what I'm saying

And hold out a free hand to me

If we're going to listen, learn to envision

Things as we know they can be

Though we're spinning and whirling

There's a way we all see

That now it's times to realize

Make the fog come clear

Like a melody through a raging storm

That was deafening

All around us calm

There's a light that's there to see

Don't be afraid to take that breath
