WITHOUT GOD BY MY SIDE (HOW DO I BREATHE)
I grew up in a family who taught me to be good
But I didn't turn out to be the way I should
I wanted to be different, I wanna be somebody
In this world I wanted them to like me
So along the line I've done this and that,
Colored my hair
pink,
purple and black
But then there are times when I'm all alone
I feel so afraid coz I've always known
That God is above and I shouldn't ignore him
Scared coz my chosen place was so dim
Lost my direction, I'm crying inside
I need strength, need God by my side
I just had a wake up call,
Will I ever survive this fall?
Are You listening to me at all?
(I remember when I pushed you away)
I'm hoping that You still care,
Lord, to you I pray,
Forgive me, please stay.
[Chorus:]
How do I breathe
Without you here by my side?
How will I see
When your love brought me to the light?
Where do I go
When your heart's where I lay my head?
When you're not with me,
How do I breathe?
How do I breathe?
[Verse:]
Without you I'd lose my mind.
Yes I made a mistake.
I wanna leave it all behind
And walk the path you showed me.
Coz there my life would be clear,
and with You I would be near
To God be the glory
Thanks for making me see
[Hook:]
I just had a wake up call,
He helped me through it all,
Even though I am small.
Thanks for leading the way
I have been always scared
THat I won't find God anywhere
When I keep refusing His hand
(Repeat chorus)
[Verse:]
My soul found peace with You, so
I don't wanna let go...
Feels like I just found a home
Your love for me
Has given me the air to breathe
When You are with me
[Rap:]
Just one shot... there's no turning back
Gonna keep on walking here on the right track
I won't let anybody make me fall
With the help of God I'm gonna reach my goal
