[piano and soft guitar solos]
[Verse 1]
Morning breaks across my eyes,
Golden light begins to rise.
I hear the wind, I feel the rain,
I’m alive — once again.
I see my wife, I see her smile,
I hear my children’s laughter.
I hold my grandchildren close,
And thank You for each moment after.
[piano and soft guitar solos]
[Chorus]
Every breath is a gift,
Every smile is a gift,
Every heartbeat tells me
I’m alive.
Every star up in the sky,
Every tear that leaves my eyes,
Every morning You give me
One more time.
I can walk, I can see,
I can love, I can be free.
Not because I earned this life,
But because You gave it to me.
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Every mile beneath my wheels,
Every road my journey brings,
Every mountain, every field,
Every bird that learns to sing.
Nothing here is ordinary,
Nothing here is small.
When I look with grateful eyes,
I see Your love in all.
My wife’s smile, my children’s eyes,
My grandchildren running free,
Every little thing I see
Is another gift from Thee.
[Pre-Chorus]
There was a day
I thought would be my last,
But You reached into the darkness
And You brought me back.
You gave me one more breath,
You gave me one more day.
And now I understand,
It’s not mine to throw away.
[piano and guitar]
[Chorus]
Every breath is a gift,
Every smile is a gift,
Every heartbeat tells me
I’m alive.
Every star up in the sky,
Every tear that leaves my eyes,
Every morning You give me
One more time.
I can walk, I can see,
I can love, I can be free.
Not because I earned this life,
But because You gave it to me.
[Psychedelic Rock Instrumental Break]
Long emotional electric guitar solo.
Slow piano underneath.
Drums gradually build.
Let the music breathe.
[Bridge — Quiet, Almost Whispered]
One more breath…
One more smile…
One more sunrise…
One more mile…
I don’t need to understand
Why You gave this life to me.
I only know…
I’m still here.
And I’m thankful.
[Final Chorus — Powerful]
Every breath is a gift,
Every smile is a gift,
Every heartbeat sings
Your love to me.
Every star up in the sky,
Every tear that leaves my eyes,
Every face I meet in life
Is a memory.
I can walk, I can see,
I can love, I can believe.
Every day You give to me
Is a gift I will receive.
[Outro — Soft, Slowly Fading]
Thank You, Lord…
For every breath.
Thank You, Lord…
For every day.
Thank You for my family,
For every smile,
For every tear…
Thank You…
For leaving me here.
Every breath is a gift…
Every breath is a gift…
