Oh, this road is long,
this road is wide
It takes more than luck
to last the ride
It takes strength and it
takes courage to survive
And did someone
ever say to you:
"There's nothing bound
in thought you cannot do?"
Well I've
Seen some things but not
all of them came true
So I don't
wanna be the last
Don't wanna be the first
Don't wanna be alone
with my
thoughts tomorrow
Don't wanna be afraid,
don't wanna look away
I'm learning to breathe
Don't wanna be the last
Don't wanna be the first
I just need a hope
and a light to follow
Like sailors look
to stars to find
their way home
I'm learning to
breathe on my own
And I know a man
who lost his wife
This is the way
he chooses to
describe his life
He says:
"If I think too much,
I find there's
just a hole"
But before she went
she left a son
He says,
"Dad, you're not
the only one
Maybe love is just
a requiem for the soul"
So I don't wanna
be the last
Don't wanna
be the first
Don't wanna be alone
with my
thoughts tomorrow
Don't wanna be afraid,
don't wanna look away
I'm learning to breathe
Don't wanna be the last
Don't wanna be the first
I just need a hope
and a light to follow
Like sailors look
to stars to find
their way home
I'm learning to
breathe on my own
Oh, do you still
feel small?
Just a speck of life
on an ocean wave
Does it pull us all?
Does it pull... us all?....
So I don't wanna
be the last
Don't wanna
be the first
Don't wanna be alone
with my
thoughts tomorrow
Don't wanna be afraid,
don't wanna look away
I'm learning to breathe
Don't wanna be the last
Don't wanna be the first
I just need a hope
and a light to follow
Like sailors look
to stars to find
their way home
I'm learning to
breathe on my own...
I'm learning to
breathe on my own...
I'm learning to
breathe on my own...
