Take this breath for me because
I cannot bear to do it alone
Pray this prayer for me because
I have no strength to go on
You wont understand me
How I understand completely
You don't know what its like
To die inside so completely
Take this breath for me (and hold me close)
Battered bruised and unclothed in self pity
But I cannot change my city
Downtrodden upon like an insect infect
I know so much I haven't realized yet
So I can't go on no,
I've tried and tried (can't go on)
Take this breath God, dry my eyes
So I can't go on lord I told you I couldn't
But you love me, you bless me
Standing here I've died inside
Call it what you will - but you lie and I've died
Call it what you need - but you want my life
Call it what you will - but you lie and I've died
Call it what you need - what you want is
In front of you
It's you.
