just breathe

candi staton

breathe

just breathe

breathe

just breathe

breathe

just breathe

breathe

just breathe

let it be

don't worry about it

it's time to breathe

it's time to breathe

gotta leave it alone

it's time to let go

let your feelings show

don't be afraid

keep on moving on where you belong

oh yeah

let the sun shine on your smile for a little while

we can make it

all the way through

let's stay together

let's pray together

and remember all the good times

keep your mind fixed on things that you still have

be thankful

just be grateful

i know it's time

it's time to breathe again

let's breathe

just breathe

yeah!

it's time to stand up

just breathe

just breathe

my head's under water

but you gave me the power to breathe

ooo ooh ooh

lord

you gave me a place in the sun

to get away from it all and breathe

the light shining down

i feel the breeze

so

breathe

just breathe

i'm so grateful

so grateful for your love

that picks me up and holds me up

ooh yeah!

i know the struggle

i was young

famous

lost and weary

so much fear trapped inside

i could hardly hear me

i didn't trust

i was taught to beware not friendly

that success was just a set up for the jealous

the envy

ya'll don't hear me

i was trapped

facts

under attack

tall black

no light in sight

trying to do what's right

then

it hit me

i don't really have to do it alone

and my words testify the words to my song

from now

what i've gotta do is trust and believe

that the better me will see the better me

if i breathe

just aaah

just breathe

just breathe

no matter what it looks like

yeah

no matter what we're going through

breathe

just breathe

ooh

you've got me in the palm of your hands

no giving up

no more giving in

it's time to breathe

it's time to breathe

i know you love me

you never give up

you'll never give in

ooh just breathe

ooh

joy is coming in a little while

i've gotta to be free

it's time to breathe
