Just Breathe - Yo-Yo, Candi Staton

Breathe, just breathe

Breathe, just breathe

Breathe, just breathe

Breathe, just breathe

Let it be, don’t worry about it

It’s time to breathe, it’s time to breathe

Gotta leave it alone

It’s time to let go,

Let your feelings show, don’t be afraid,

Keep on moving on where you belong, oh yeah

Let the sun shine on your smile for a little while

We can make it, all the way through

Let’s stay together, let’s pray together

And remember all the good times

Keep your mind fixed on things that you still have

Be thankful, just be grateful

I know it’s time, it’s time to breathe again

Let’s breathe, just breathe, yeah!

It’s time to stand up,

Just breathe, just breathe

My head’s under water

But you gave me the power to breathe

Ooo ooh ooh, Lord

You gave me a place in the sun

To get away from it all and breathe

The light shining down, I feel the breeze

So, breathe, just breathe

I’m so grateful, so grateful for your love

That picks me up and holds me up, ooh yeah!

I know the struggle

I was young, famous, lost and weary

So much fear trapped inside, I could hardly hear me

I didn’t trust, I was taught to beware not friendly

That success was just a set up for the jealous, the envy

Ya’ll don’t hear me, I was trapped, facts, under attack

Tall black, no light in sight

Trying to do what’s right

Then, it hit me

I don’t really have to do it alone

And my words testify the words to my song

From now, what I’ve gotta do is trust and believe

That the better me will see the better me

If I breathe, just aaah, just breathe

Just breathe

No matter what it looks like, yeah

No matter what we’re going through

Breathe, just breathe

Ooh, you’ve got me in the palm of your hands

No giving up, no more giving in

It’s time to breathe, it’s time to breathe

I know you love me, you never give up

You’ll never give in, ooh just breathe

Ooh, joy is coming in a little while

I’ve gotta to be free

It’s time to breathe
