Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I believe that you are good
And you are all-knowing, so
Why on earth am I so scared
Am I so controlling? Yeah
I believe you're merciful
And I've been forgiven, so
Why on earth does this not change
The way that I'm living?
If all I do is just believe
I'll miss the forest for the trees
Your love moves me to my feet
It's like I'm finally breathing
If all I do is just survive
I'll waste this one and only life
Your love moves me to my feet
It's like I'm finally breathing
I'm finally breathing
It's not like a diamond ring
Can make me a lover, no
Takes more than a child born
To be a good father, yeah
My faith is truly dead
If I keep it all in my head, so
Come alive inside my chest
More and more with every step
If all I do is just believe
I'll miss the forest for the trees
Your love moves me to my feet
It's like I'm finally breathing
If all I do is just survive
I'll waste this one and only life
Your love moves me to my feet
It's like I'm finally breathing
I, I, I'm finally breathing
I, I, I'm finally breathing
I, I, I'm finally breathing
I, I, I'm finally breathing
So breathe in, breathe out
In every moment, with every moment
Breathe in, breathe out
And take the next step, I'll take the next step
If all I do is just believe
I'll miss the forest for the trees
Your love moves me to my feet
It's like I'm finally breathing
If all I do is just survive
I'll waste this one and only life
Your love moves me to my feet
It's like I'm finally breathing
I, I, I'm finally breathing
I, I, I'm finally breathing
I, I, I'm finally breathing
I, I, I'm finally breathing
