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 awhile,
|
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 awhile?
|
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, spin the dream, the curtain will fall but behind it
|
I see that you're here.
|
