The Air I Breathe

by Shawn Williams   Jun 28, 2005


My heart explodes with emotion
It overflows from tear drenched streams into oceans
This great divide I cant describe
I don't know life without you by my side
So I ask why we fuss and fight
Separate with hate this lake of night
I don't know how to heal your wounds
To close this chasm from earth to moon
I revolve around your every word
But your eyes cant lie I see your hurt
I see your dreams and I see your doubt
I look inside as I taste your mouth
I caress your soul as I touch your face
Body's embrace I try to erase your pain
Please find meaning that you complete my being
I'm a blind man walking you give me freedom
You help me see theres deep needs outside of me
You make me a better man you're the air I breathe
