Lyrics
BREATHE OUT
Written and performed by: Mitchelle Tanner
The village splits and the ocean fills dry land
From out of the shadows, a cat?s eyes blaze to life
Mirror of the one source of the one fire that lights us all
And there?s a long road
Out beyond the other side of temptation there is
Nothing to believe in when there are no words
But sometimes you just have to let it all go
CH And breathe out and breathe in
Breathe out and breathe in
Breathe out and breathe in
And start again
BR
And the water as it rises washes you out to sea
But Atlantis still stands, at least some people believe
As you tumble in the wreckage of your heart?s darkest night
Remember when you surface once again you?ll take flight
But sometimes you just have to let it all go and...
CH
But the earth shifts and the deserts they sink into the shadows
Of rooms that are hidden and dark
From way back in the season when there was no reason
To believe anything we were taught, no
Ah but the tribal man, he whispers a story we all know
And the bats and the birds
In a blaze of wings break through the walls
Bringing thunder from the heart of the darkness
Thunder from the heart of the darkness that we all know
Deep in our souls, deep in our souls
Ah but sometimes you just have to let it all go and ....
Verse I
CH
It?s never too late to start again
Don?t be afraid to start again, no
