You said young man, "Don't rely on a sword" 'Cause your words will outlive even time I've counted my blessings, the rest are for you Please listen close for a while And breathe, breathe, deep for me James Don't you feel that you're free now from pain? I've heard about Heaven for years Can't be sure where you are Wander on blessed James I'm fine with you here I made the mistake once of fearing an end Is this life that we live, just the world's accident? Not a chance, so I move on with a smile Are you surprised where you are? So breathe, breathe, deep for me James Don't you feel that you're free now from pain? I've heard about Heaven for years Can't be sure where you are Wander on blessed James I'm fine with you here I grew up slow on the heels of the rest Left my heart back at home, carried you in my chest And I don't feel like crying today Why can't we talk for a while? And breathe, breathe, deep for me James Don't you feel that you're free now from pain? I've heard about Heaven for years Can't be sure where you are Wander on blessed James I'm fine with you here You said, "Son, just listen to me" But I'm doing fine, James So you can sit back and just breathe And it's time now to let yourself go Hold us close, spend the dream The curtain will fall but behind it I see that you're here
