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 want to be the last, I don't want to be the first

Don't want to be alone with my thoughts tomorrow

And I don't want to be afraid, don't want to look away

I'm learning to breathe

No I don't want to be the last, I don't want to 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 want to be the last, I don't want to be the first

Don't want to be alone with my thoughts tomorrow

And I don't want to be afraid, don't want to look away

I'm learning to breathe

No I don't want to be the last, I don't want to 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 want to be the last, I don't want to be the first

Don't want to be alone with my thoughts tomorrow

And I don't want to be afraid, don't want to look away

I'm learning to breathe

No I don't want to be the last, I don't want to 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
