I HAVE ALWAYS BREATHED

I HAVE ALWAYS BREATHED
Lyrics by Toni Burcher © 2006

Verse 1:
I please your senses. Provide for your every need.
I please your wants. Fulfill your every possibility.
Yet you take, and take. And still want more.
I’m happy to give. I want you to live, but I implore…

CHORUS 1:
Please hear me. Please, please understand.
I am alive. Though I’m that on which you stand.
Lend me your ears, open your eyes and you will see.
Though I am earth I have always breathed.

Verse 2:
I please do ask you to think respectfully.
Please please yourself but also think of me.
You may take and take from my depleted stores.
I’m happy to give. I want you to live, but I implore…

CHORUS 1:
Please hear me. Please, please understand.
I am alive. Though I’m that on which you stand.
Lend me your ears, open your eyes and you will see.
Though I am earth I have always breathed.

Verse 3:
I please do ask you to tread so carefully.
Please understand that all life is meant to be.
I will give and I will give till I can give no more.
I’m not passive. I too want to live, so I implore…

CHORUS:
Please hear me. Please, please understand.
I am alive. Though I’m that on which you stand.
Lend me your ears, open your eyes and you will see.
Though I am earth I have always breathed.

Verse 4:
Breathed breathe of life into every being.
Give natures gifts so your soul can sing.
Provide you everything yet ask one simple thing.

CHORUS:
Please hear me. Please, please understand.
I am alive. Though I’m that on which you stand.
Lend me your ears, open your eyes and you will see.
Though I am earth I have always breathed.

Though I am Earth I have always breathed.
