lyrics

I need your touch
To reach through the veil
That has fallen over me

I need your breath
To rush over my skin
To push against the void

This is not hope
This is not life
This is my trial
And you are my guide

I need your voice
To cut through the darkness
That has filled my eyes

I will not feel afraid
while that I know
You will not leave my side

This is not hope
This is not life
This is my trial
And you are my guide

Take up my hand
Take me outside
Into the cold air
The fathomless skies

There's a wide open space
And a slow rising sun
And I see your face
And then everyone

Oh, and I know, yes I know
You will carry me to the end
Paper thin escaping dreams
Are scattered to the wind

Oh, and I know, yes I know
I know that you'll always be near
Oh, and I breathe, and I breathe
And I breathe
