A Breath or Two


A Breath Or Two By Jimmy Needham
I think it’s terminal, this terminal I’m waiting in

Could use a change of scene, it seems

I’ve been repeating it

Another day, another plane, another same thing

Yesterday became tomorrow that’s the strange thing

Another string, another strum, another rhyme, another hum

I want to breathe in

I want to breathe in and out again

I’m tired of putting one foot in front of the other

I’m weary of where it leads me to

I’m tired of moving on from my Father

Make me rest my head, take a breath or two

Simply stated simple minded love for You

Has simply been completely complicated

And I’m finding this daily drudgery is finally catching up to me
It’s time for this abandon to make much of You and less of me
I want to breathe in

I want to breathe in and out again

I’m tired of putting one foot in front of the other

I’m weary of where it leads me to

I’m tired of moving on from my Father

Make me rest my head, take a breath or two

O for a slower pace

Moving at the speed of sound sounds like a race to me

O to be at ease

Moving at the speed of sound gets hard on the knees

I’m tired of putting one foot in front of the other

I’m weary of where it leads me to

I’m tired of moving on from my Father

Make me rest my head, take a breath or two
