Take The Breath Songtext
von Michael Tomlinson

Out on the road there are memories in me
Each of them of their own place
And all the changes we all learn to live with
They turn me around every day
What′s my direction, where am I going?
Sometimes I lose where I've been
And I′m spinning and whirling
And I don't understand
Chorus:
Then there are times when I realize
All the fog comes clear
Like a melody through a raging storm
That was deafening
All around us calm
There's a light that′s there to see
I drove the night all alone in the desert
Dreaming about my old friends
And I wrote poem on that hill in Wyoming
And shouted it out in the wind
The wind and prairie


Were beckoning to me
Calling me out off that road
I′m a vessel that's sailing
Under no one′s control
Chorus
As long as I live I need to run this way
Now it's all right to give
These useless fears away
Oh breathe it in now
Just let it out
Don′t be afraid to take that breath
I love the country
And some of the cities
I love these people I meet
Who come out to show me
They hear what I'm saying
And hold out a free hand to me
If we′re going to listen, learn to envision
Things as we know they can be
Though we're spinning and whirling
There's a way we all see
That now it′s times to realize
Make the fog come clear
Like a melody through a raging storm
That was deafening
All around us calm
There′s a light that's there to see
Don′t be afraid to take that breath
