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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 
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
