One Breath
words and music: Ann Reed

I cannot hear the news
It only stains my heart
Heavy fear comes through
Weighs me down
The smallest ray of hope
I take into my soul
A friend I found

Perhaps the world is flat
I've walked out to the edge
With torn, outdated maps and
Wond'ring when
Some blessed clarity
Might find it's way to me
But 'til then ...

I'm gonna take
One step
One breath
Then I'll take
One step
One breath

These things that are not mine
I've carried way too long
Neither the will nor time
To sort it all
My weary arms they shake
What difference would it make
To let it fall?

I hold tight
To a scrap of faith
That there lives light
In the darkest place

Too much, too much for me
I'll cling to what I know:
Rivers of love don't freeze
They're deep and wide
Oh, kindness come, I beg
Forgiveness move my legs
Help me rise
