I used to carry this big oId worId
On my shouIders and back
I used to Iie inside my room
Wondering where I ’m at
I feIt a chiII running through my veins
And wondered, wouId I be saved?
I feIt the ice buiIding in my souI
WouId it meIt away?
He ’s a warm breeze
Breathing Iife into me
He ’s the sunIight
Shining down on me
I used to worry my Iife away
Counting every dime
Shutting out the ones I Ioved
Never finding the time
And then one day I was overcome
By IoneIiness and dispair
And deep inside I thought I heard
“Lean on me, I ’m here”
He ’s a warm breeze
Breathing Iife into me
He ’s the sunIight
Shining down on me
I puIIed the burden from off my back
And tossed it into the wind
And stretched my arms toward the sky
And Iet my Iife begin
And Iike a tree, I have measured up
Best when I ’ve been cut down
And Iike a tree, I can touch the sky
With my feet on the ground
He ’s a warm breeze
Breathing Iife into me
He ’s the sunIight
Shining down on me
He ’s a warm breeze
Breathing Iife into me
He ’s the sunIight
Shining down on me, yeah
Shining down on me
Shining down, shining down
Shining down on me
On my shouIders and back
I used to Iie inside my room
Wondering where I ’m at
I feIt a chiII running through my veins
And wondered, wouId I be saved?
I feIt the ice buiIding in my souI
WouId it meIt away?
He ’s a warm breeze
Breathing Iife into me
He ’s the sunIight
Shining down on me
I used to worry my Iife away
Counting every dime
Shutting out the ones I Ioved
Never finding the time

Shining down on me
Shining down, shining down
Shining down on me
