the wonderous breath
I take in
in it there is life
I know

There is so much
I want to show

of the life that has been
given to me

and

who gave me that life
I hope you
will see

when I exhale
I know that's a breath
I can't get back

and

I know
it is a waiste of
precious breath
to look back

breath of life
so precious
though it be

we take it for granted
everyone
you and me

have we become machines
and forgotten what
the breath of life
really means

brothers and sisters
join me
and
breath in
that breath of life
it's not a sin

we breath life
we breath in thoughts
we breath in dreams

when we exhale
we have a choice
to remain silent
or
to use your voice

your thoughts
and
your dreams
become words

and

those words
have the power of life and death

Take in
that breath of life
realize
someone
gave to you
it is a gift

when HE
exhaled
He breathed into
your nostrils

the BREATH of LIFE
