just a breath

Francesca Battistelli

I'm never afraid to be the person I'm made to be
And that's what makes me believe
That somewhere inside of me is someone who longs to be
A whole lot more like you, a more convincing truth

And I want to be caught up in you
I'm standing on the edge of tomorrow
And I want to live my life in your shoes

For I am just a breath, breathe your life in me
My soul longs to be with you
And I am just a child, do your work in me
Cause I want to be a fool for you

I give you all my pride, Oh Lord please hear my cry
And be acquainted with my grief
A friend to the broken heart, you finish what you start
And that's what makes me believe

That I can be caught up in you
Even when I'm standing in sorrow
You help me walk each day in your shoes

For I am just a breath, breathe your life in me
My soul longs to be with you
And I am just a child, do your work in me
Cause I want to be a fool for you

Even when my spirit grows faint
Even when my soul is crushed
Lord you never hesitate
You've given me so much
