Used to carry this big old world

on my shoulders and back


I used to lie inside my room


wondering where I am at




I felt a chill running through my veins


And wondered, would I be saved?

I felt the ice building in my soul


Would it melt away?




He's a warm breeze


Breathing life into me


He's the sunlight

Shining down on me





I used to worry my life away

Counting every dime


Shutting out the ones I loved


Never finding the time




And then one day I was overcome


By loneliness and despair

And deep inside I thought I heard


"Lean on me, I'm here"




He's a warm breeze


Breathing life into me


He's the sunlight

Shining down on me


I pulled the burden from off my back


And tossed it into the wind

And stretched my arms toward the sky


And let my life begin




And like a tree, I have measured up


Best when I've been cut down


And like a tree, I can touch the sky

With my feet on the ground




He's a warm breeze


Breathing life into me

He's the sunlight

Shining down on me




He's a warm breeze


Breathing life into me

He's the sunlight

Shining down on me, yeah


Shining down on me

Shining down, shining down

Shining down on me
