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
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
