"Breathe"

by Anberlin
from the album New Surrender (2008)

This is surrender
to a war torn life I've lived
scars and stripes forever
in need of change that I can't resist

no need to hide anything anymore
can't return to who I was before

I can finally breathe
suddenly alive
I can finally move
world feels revived

This long of a struggle
finally opened up my eyes
revolution's not easy
with a civil war on the inside

no need to hide anything anymore
can't return to who I was before

I can finally breathe
suddenly alive
I can finally move
world feels revived
