Breathing Hope

I heard music lighting up my darkness

I felt the phrase melt away my sadness

A melody as potent as wine

I let it sweep me out of my depression

I let it point me in a new direction

Breathing hope on this life of mine



Now who could fail

To let it touch the honesty, within them

And who could help

But be comforted inside



It took a harmony to heal the bad times

It took a rythem to release the sunshine

Even then, it took me so long

To break the silence i'd resigned my life to

To break down barriers i'd shut my eyes to

Releasing me from all that was wrong



Now i don't try

To understand the way it moves my spirit

That is why

S'pose i'll never know

How a subtle change of key

Can do these things to me

And make me feel, like i feel



I heard music lighting up my darkness

I felt the phrase melt away my sadness

A melody as potent as wine

I let it sweep me out of my depression

I let it point me in a new direction

Breathing hope on this life of mine
