I Want To Breathe

I want to be, I want to breathe,

If only a soul had let me see.

In my memories, I hear them say,

"Make hay, make hay, don't waste a day,

For the time is now, don't you dare bide,

Else you will be last, left to cry.

Plan for the future and not for your dreams."

I wanted to be, I wanted to breathe,

If only a soul had let me see.

Throughout my life, I hear these words,

"Meet new heights, no matter the cost,

The world expects, don't you dare pause."

I wanted to be, I wanted to breathe,

If only a soul had let me see.

It's okay to fail, I see that now,

Heights are scary, the ground is not.

Life may be hard but at least I'll be free,

Let me be me and let me see.

I want to be, I want to breathe,

If only a soul had let me see.
