Just Breathe
Just breathe.
Darling close your eyes and fill your lungs
This ladder of life you're climbing
Take it rung by rung.
When you feel like you are falling apart,
Take one hand and put it over your beating heart.
It works so hard to make you thrive,
Day and night, keeping you alive.
Don't give up now when you've come too far
You can't just quit, it's not who you are
This is part of the climb; it's only a test
Stop for a second and let your spirit rest
You're almost there, darling don't fret
And don't ever forget to just breathe.
