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
