Stop Holding your Breath
Belinda Richmond 1979 (Chicago)
Stop holding your breath and
Just go ahead and breathe;
Let go of the Frustration,
Satisfaction is what you need.
Instead of worrying about others,
And things that they already have
Be Thankful for what you got,
In fact, you should be glad.
It took a lot to get what they have
Believe me it wasn't at ease.
You didn't have to bare their attempts,
So, like I said GO-AHEAD and BREATHE.
You didn't get it, thats OK!!
It wasn't for you, you see!!!
Whatever is for you will
come in due time!!
OH YEAH, DON'T FORGOT
TO GO ON AND BREATHE
You're swimming in an ocean of water,
In the deep debts of the sea
This water is your downfall,
now CONQUER IT and
GO AHEAD AND BREATHE
Swim to the top of the ocean,
Get yourself out of the sea
Free yourself from your situation
AND NOW FINALLY
YOU CAN BREATHE!!!
