Hold On To The Air

Everything’s moving a little too fast,

Moments are fading before they can last.

Voices are louder inside of my head,

Counting the words I wish I’d never said.

City lights blur into silver streams,

I’m wide awake inside my dreams.

Close my eyes…

Feel my heartbeat slow.

One small step,

That’s enough to know…

I’ll hold on to the air inside my lungs,

Even when my mind says I should run.

One more second, one more sunrise,

I can find the calm beyond the noise.

Piece by piece, I’ll find my way,

Storms don’t always stay.

I’ll hold on to the air…

Until I’m okay.

Clouds keep circling over my sky,

Still there’s a reason I choose to try.

Maybe tomorrow won’t feel the same,

Maybe the light will remember my name.

Slow it down…

Let the silence speak.

Even strong hearts

Can have fragile weeks.

I’ll hold on to the air inside my lungs,

Even when my mind says I should run.

One more second, one more sunrise,

I can find the calm beyond the noise.

Piece by piece, I’ll find my way,

Storms don’t always stay.

I’ll hold on to the air…

Until I’m okay.

I don’t have to win tonight,

I just have to make it through.

Every breath becomes a promise,

Every dawn begins anew.

I’ll hold on to the hope that’s growing strong,

Even when the darkest nights feel long.

Every heartbeat writes a brand new page,

Every breath can break the cage.

Step by step, I’ll find my place,

Hope is never far away.

I’ll hold on to the air…

And let tomorrow carry me.
