lyrics

Coming Up For Air - by Janet Crawford and Jim Byrne

Coming up for air
Eyes are damp from tears
Counting down from ten, nine, eight

You’re holding every hour
Together with your trust
Every day goes, one by one

Do not fear, lift your eyes
lift them up from the ground
Trust yourself
Look around
Look around

Trust yourself
Look around
Look around

Reaching out for now
It will be alright
Love and hope will, see you through

Soon the time is done
Clouds no longer drawn
The sun will burn right through

Do not fear, lift your eyes
lift them up from the ground
Trust yourself
Look around
Look around

Do not fear, lift your eyes
lift them up from the ground
Trust yourself
Look around
Look around
