Breathe

Breathe.
In, and out, breathe;
Breathe.
To live;
To be free;
To feel life course through veins;
Breathe; in, out, in, out;
Breathing keeps the heart beating,
The blood flowing,
The body growing;
Take a breath and smile,
Take the air in and wake your brain,
Breathe.
To be alive,
To survive,
Breath of life come lift us high;
Breathe and again, 
Take a breath and feel life coursing through,
Refreshing every part, every soul felt joy;
Breathe in the life that fills the lungs,
Breathe in the life that stills the fear of falling,
Breathe.
In and out, in and out,
Feel the body stretch and grow,
In and out,
Breath of life that fills your smile,
Breathe.
