Breathe
[Verse 1]
The alarm goes off
Time to start your day
You pull yourself up out of the bed
But you're wishing you could stay
You're tired, so tired
But your day has just begun
Don't know if you can do it again
Each day just like the last one

[Chorus]
People to serve, people to please
Laughing and sneering and bringing you down to your knees
You're so busy working
It's hard when you count the people we're trying to appease
Running here, running there
Food and shoes and clothes for your children to wear
Ain't no time to breathe
You don't even notice that you're gasping for air

[Hook]
Breathe
Breathe
[Verse 2]
You clock in the job
You workin' mimimum wage
Like a lion caught in a trap
Or a bear stuck in a cage
You work and work, and work, and work, and work
And your boss is out his mind
There's that old feeling again
Wasn't there supposed to be time?

[Chorus]
People to serve, people to please
Laughing and sneering and bringing you down to your knees
You're so busy working
It's hard when you count the people we're trying to appease
Running here, running there
Food and shoes and clothes for your children to wear
Ain't no time to breathe
You don't even notice that you're gasping for air

[Hook]
Breathe
Breathe

[Verse 3]
God wants you to smell the roses
Feel the sunshine on your face
Live life, laugh, love
Be the recipient of His grace
Feel the closeness
You're in Him, and He's in you
Dance with God alone
But you found other things to do
[Chorus]
People to serve, people to please
Laughing and sneering and bringing you down to your knees
Oh oh, yeah
Running here, running there
Food and shoes and clothes for your children to wear

[Bridge (Background Vocals)]
Do you want us to breathe in and out the breezes?
Take a moment to take our time (Take our time)
Yeah
Do you want us to breathe in and out the breezes?
And take our moment to take our time (Take our time)
Do you want us to breathe in and out the breezes?
Take a moment to take our time
Do you want us to breathe in and out the breezes?
Take a moment to take our time
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(God wants you to smell the roses)
Smell the roses
(Feel the sunshine on your face)
(Live life, laugh, love)
He wants you to live
(Be the recipient of His grace)
He wants you to feel
(Feel the closeness)
(You're in Him, and He's in you)
(Dance with God alone)
But you found other things to do
[Chorus (Background Vocals)]
(People to serve, people to please)
Oh, oh
(Laughing and sneering and bringing you down to your knees)
You're so busy working
It's hard, it's hard
(Running here, running there)
Food and shoes and clothes for your children to wear
Ain't no time to breathe
Breathe
