Learning to Breathe - Switchfoot
Hello, good morning, how ya do?
What makes your rising sun so new?
I could use a fresh beginning too
All of my regrets are nothing new
So this is the way that I say I need You
This is the way
This is the way
That I'm learning to breathe
I'm learning to crawl
I'm finding that You and You alone can break my fall
I'm living again, awake and alive
I'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies
Hello, good morning, how ya been?
Yesterday left my head kicked in
I never, never thought I would fall like that
Never knew that I could hurt this bad
I'm learning to breathe
I'm learning to crawl
I'm finding that You and You alone can break my fall
I'm living again, awake and alive
I'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies
So this is the way that I say I need You
This is the way that I say I love You
This is the way that I say I'm Yours
This is the way
This is the way
I've always loved this song
I love how it's a declaration of one's desperation
I love how it's the laying aside of one's pride, one's mask, to just BE vulnerable, and to let go, let God.
I love how it talks about fresh beginnings, about embracing mistakes, embracing life's hurts, about restoration and starting over, about overcoming victorious.
I'm just so overwhelmed, every single day, when i see His beauty at the break of dawn, at every breathe of cool air, every sunrise, every squirrel in the "canopies", each dewdrop, pink sky, marshmallow cloud, damp grass, all amidst the HDBs, roads, and shoves from the morning crowd.
and man, was today's sunrise pretty.. :)
