B. Reith - Breathe lyrics

This is not the life that I had planned I'm standing on a patch of sinking sand The man I thought I once would be is far from where I am And this pain staking process is wearing me thin again Come into this broken dream and breathe down on me breathe down on me Sing yourself through a melody and breathe down on me breathe down on me I can't remember where it all went wrong Before I knew it all of me was gone But when I lost it all that's when my life truly began And I found myself secure in the palm of your hand again (Brian Reith copyright 2009) Behind the Song: "A couple years ago I was at a point in my career where I was at a standstill. A lot of things had not panned out and years had pa**ed me by. It was as if my life had taken off and led me to a desert I never intended on visiting, much less dwelling there for quite some time. Sitting in my room with a guitar in my hand, the opening line came out: "this is not the life that I had planned." A few months later I stumbled across Isaiah 43:19: "I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland." That is what Breathe is about. It is a prayer for God to breathe His life and love into my soul. To bring back to life the dreams He gave me years ago. To "sing Himself through a melody." To give life to the things I touch, to establish the work of my hands and restore to me the joy of His salvation." - B.Reith
