Love this!

Breathe (Spoken Word) Fr. Augustino Cfr

My soul longs and pines for a better day
And I know it exists somewhere, this
Castle in my mind has a birth that is beyond the
Confines of this flesh, so frail
Yet so wonderful.
But my heroes fall and my loved ones let me down
Breathe in an air of uncertainty onto my convictions
The oppressive humidity of confusion
Given by those who demand to be self ruled
Self loved, self sufficient,
Has a gravity that pulls me down with the centrifugal force
generated when I choose to dance with these devils
But then I hear these words
Breathe
Breathe in this air with fumes confused
It's freshness battered, it's goodness abused
And filter it with your life
Truly lived
Breathe breathe out
The goodness and the true
The capturing beauty of
Living life anew
And keep back the cycle of cyclical evil
Aimed at you
At your spiritual health
Put it to death now in your life
By dying to yourself
Myself
I cannot tell a lie
There's so much lackin' in who I am
The hole in my heart is only partially filled
It yells like a lost child
Looking for her mother
And I stop trying to tell myself
That these aren't tears
That I'm not cryin'
Now this water washes your feet clean
I have stopped convincing myself that I am righteous
And in the absence of presumption
I find the bread of conviction
Then these words
Show me what to do breathe

Breathe in this air with fumes confused
It's freshness battered, it's goodness abused

And filter it with your life
Truly lived

Breathe breathe out
The goodness and the true
The capturing beauty of
Living life anew

And keep back the cycle of cyclical evil
Aimed at you
At your spiritual health
Put it to death now in your life
By dying to yourself
So now, I want it all
I'm not ashamed to say I want it all
100%
No impurities
No artificial flavoring
All access passes
I want it all no lyin'
I want a love that's not some dream
'Cause forever is intrinsic
To my certainty
And I know it's the key to my happiness
Loving without compromise
And finding joy in the darndest places
The dampest rooms and the
darkest faces
'n now
I'm not afraid
to breathe
breathe
breathe

Breathe in this air with fumes confused
It's freshness battered, it's goodness abused

And filter it with your life
Truly lived

Breathe breathe out
The goodness and the true
The capturing beauty of
Living life anew

And keep back the cycle of cyclical evil
Aimed at you
At your spiritual health
Put it to death now in your life
By dying to yourself
