I used to carry this big old world On my shoulders and back I used to lie inside my room Wondering where I'm at
I felt a chill running through my veins And wondered, would I be saved? I felt the ice building in my soul Would it melt away?
He's a warm breeze Breathing life into me He's the sunlight Shining down on me
I used to worry my life away Counting every dime Shutting out the ones I loved Never finding the time
And then one day I was overcome By loneliness and dispair And deep inside I thought I heard "Lean on me, I'm here"
He's a warm breeze Breathing life into me He's the sunlight Shining down on me I pulled the burden from off my back And tossed it into the wind And stretched my arms toward the sky And let my life begin
And like a tree, I have measured up Best when I've been cut down And like a tree, I can touch the sky With my feet on the ground
He's a warm breeze Breathing life into me He's the sunlight Shining down on me
He's a warm breeze Breathing life into me He's the sunlight Shining down on me, yeah Shining down on me Shining down, shining down Shining down on me
