about

This is a song for slowing down. For tending to what is close, what is real, what feeds life. For breathing deep, and remembering to listen to our heart.
This song was written in the first month of lockdowns, when everything felt so unknown and there was so much fear in the air. Often, it seems, a crisis can clarify what's most important. Often, a thousand voices of confusion can push us to look deeper within for our heart's truth. A disturbance in external systems propels us toward creating our own. And the quickening movement of life summons us to breathe.

lyrics

LYRICS:

Breathe - everything’s changing
Breathe - you are a leader in these times
Breathe - and all the ones around you, you remind them to breathe

Breathe - the spell’s been broken
We’ve been running far too fast too long
See, all life is callin’ out for a moment now to breathe

Listen to your heart
Grow a little garden
Feed the ones around you with your love
Listen to your heart
Know that we are with you
Be the shining forest that you are

Don’t let the fear take you away
There’s too much at stake
This is the path for which you were born
These are the times for which you were made
Don’t let the fear take you away
There’s too much at stake
This is the path for which you were born
So lay your body to the earth
Lay your mind down for a while
Find the space between

Breathe - your skies are clearing
Breathe - the trees are singing into your lungs
Breathe - and all the ones around you, you remind them to breathe

Listen to your heart
Grow a little garden
Feed the ones around you with your love
Listen to your heart
Know that we are with you
Be the shining forest that we are

And breathe…
