It’s hard to breathe and to see;

All I feel is the shaking of my knees.

It’s hard to breathe and think straight;

I wonder what lesson I must learn from fate.

It’s hard to breathe and wonder what’s right;

So many stories, so much pain from this fight.

It’s hard to breathe and know what to do;

To find the strength, hope, belief – that it’ll be alright;

And perhaps I will too.
