My Last Breath

My Last Breath.. It seems as if my last breath May soon be drawn My one last breath Before the dawn Yes, my final breath And then I’ll be gone No more a part of your life Or even what’s left of mine I walked along the sharp edge of the knife Whose blood did you think you’d find? Everything that I ever had I let slip right through my hands More than thirty years of life and love So many things I don’t understand And it’s all on me, I’m on my knees Hands held high to the sky... It seems as if my last breath May soon be drawn My one last breath Before the dawn Yes, my final breath And then I’ll be gone Out of nowhere, the words rush through my head And I had to find the time To let them come alive on paper So in I turn I could pass away... I’ve let faith be the fire that fuels me Let belief be my hope and my strength I’ve let my heart be the guide that rules me That has allowed me to go to these lengths See it through right to the end Watch the captain go down with the ship I will never abandon that faith or belief Regardless of how loose my grip... It seems as if my last breath Will soon be drawn My one last breath Before the dawn Yes, my final breath And then I’ll be gone...
