Respire

Respire

Make of me a banished son
To walk this world alone
With heavy heart and heavy load
The boulder and the stone

Make of me a loyal friend
A soldier at your side
To be there when it matters most
A brother all your life

Make of me a mighty sword
An instrument of death
I was me but now he's gone 
And this is what is left

Make of me a rising son
A vindicated soul
That I may be forgiven
And find my way back home
