Please tell me you’ll fight this fight
I can’t see without your light
I need you to breathe into my life
Don’t tell me this is goodbye
I won’t grieve – it’s not yet time
Each breath breathed is keeping hope alive

So keep breathing
Go on breathe in
Keep on breathing
Go on breathe in
Just breathe

Each breath breathed means we’re alive
And life means that we can find
The reasons to keep on getting by
And if reasons we can’t find
We’ll make up some to get by
‘Til breath by breath we’ll leave this behind

All you have to do is breathe




Behind the Song:
"The mother of my friend was diagnosed with terminal cancer. I asked my friend how she was dealing with it, and she cheerfully said “denial.” When my own father had prostate cancer years later, I came to understand the way your brain locks down on the only outcome you can accept. Fortunately, my father came through the surgery well and is cancer-free now. We’ve seen a lot of hospitals in the last couple years as different family members have fought with cancer, but this song is for anyone struggling to find hope in the darkness – anyone so lost that they have to make up reasons to live." - Max Hsu (Superchick)
