I'm never afraid to be the person I'm made to be,
And that's what makes me believe.
That somewhere inside of me is someone who longs to be
A whole lot more like you, a more convincing truth.

And I want to be caught up in you,
I'm standing on the edge of tomorrow.
And I want to live my life in your shoes.

For I am just a breath, breathe your life in me,
My soul longs to be with you.
And I am just a child, do your work in me,
Cause I want to be a fool for you.

I give you all my pride, Oh Lord please hear my cry,
And be acquainted with my grief.
A friend to the broken heart, you finish what you start,
And that's what makes me believe.

That I can be caught up in you,
Even when I'm standing in sorrow.
You help me walk each day in your shoes.

For I am just a breath, breathe your life in me,
My soul longs to be with you.
And I am just a child, do your work in me,
Cause I want to be a fool for you.

Even when my spirit grows faint,
Even when my soul is crushed.
Lord you never hesitate,
You've given me so much.

Behind the Song:
"Life is short. We think we have all the time in the world to grow up, make decisions and get real, but no one is promised tomorrow. Live each day to the full and remember that life is a gift. Without God, we're just vapors about to evaporate in the breeze. But He gives us purpose. He makes life worth living." - Francesca Battistelli
