about

This song was written Fall 2011. I wrote this for my friend who was going through a very rough time in his life. It tells him that he will get through his struggles at that God and his friends are there to help.

lyrics

You're searching for your home
A place you've never known
I'll help you find it
You're searching for your heart
From love it broke apart
I'll help you find it

Cause your life's a night without a day
A day without a night
You're so afraid it will escalate into a fight to end all fights
A constant uphill climb
A ladder with endless rungs
You suffocate under your weight as you're trying to find your lungs

Just breathe
Let the air that you take in
Let it fill your lungs again
Know we're by your side and you will make it through this
Let it bring you back to life
Let it get you through the night
Know we're by your side and you will make it through this alright

The devil wants you crushed
Under the weight of what was lost
I'll help you fight it
Hope never has subsided
It comes if reminded
I'll help you find it

Cause your life's a night without a day
A day without a night
You're so afraid it will escalate into a fight to end all fights
A constant uphill climb
A ladder with endless rungs
You suffocate under your weight as you're trying to find your lungs

Just breathe
Let the air that you take in
Let it fill your lungs again
Know we're by your side and you will make it through this
Let it bring you back to life
Let it get you through the night
Know we're by your side and you will make it through this

You'll make it alright
Ignite the hope inside
This flame will never hide
When life is falling down upon you
Take in the breath of God and...

Just breathe
Let the air that you take in
Let it fill your lungs again
Know we're by your side and you will make it through this
Let it bring you back to life
Let it get you through the night
Know we're by your side and you will make it through this
Just breathe
Let the air that you take in
Let it fill your lungs again
Know we're by your side and you will make it through this
Let it bring you back to life
Let it get you through the night
Know we're by your side and you will make it through this

You'll make it alright
Ignite the hope inside
This flame will never hide
When life is falling down upon you
Take in the breath of God and just breathe
