Jonathan Traylor's song 'Breathe Life' is a heartfelt plea for spiritual renewal and revival. The artist expresses a desire to avoid a lifeless faith, comparing it to a lantern without a flame. He confesses struggles with temptation and self-centered desires, asking God to take control and restore his passion for following Christ. The repeated chorus calls for God to breathe life and revive the singer's spirit. The bridge echoes a request for spiritual sight and a renewed commitment to live for God. The song reflects themes of surrender, repentance, and dependence on the Holy Spirit for transformation.

Verse 1

I don?t wanna be a dead man walking

I don?t wanna be a lantern without a flame

I don?t ever wanna not hear you talkin?

I don?t wanna just wear the christian name

 

Chorus

Breathe life again, breathe life again

Breathe life again, breathe life again

Breathe life again, breathe life again

Breathe life again, revive again

 

Verse 2

I don?t wanna keep falling into temptation

I don?t wanna keep pleasing my own desires

I don?t wanna have to keep begging for restoration

Lord I need you to take control of my life

 

Chorus

Breathe life again, breathe life again

Breathe life again, breathe life again

Breathe life again, breathe life again

Breathe life again, revive again

 

Bridge 4x

Breathe me back to life

Take the scales off of my eyes

I wanna see you and I wanna live for you

 

Chorus

Breathe life again, breathe life again

Breathe life again, breathe life again

Breathe life again, breathe life again

Breathe life again, revive again
