| You said, «Young man, don’t rely on a sword, |
| Cause your words will outlive even time.» |
| I’ve counted my blessings. The rest are for you. |
| Please listen close for a while, |
| And breathe, breathe, deep for me James. |
| Don’t you feel that you’re free now from pain? |
| I’ve heard about heaven for years. |
| Can’t be sure where you are, wander on blessed James. |
| I’m fine with you here. |
| I made the mistake once of fearing an end. |
| Is this life that we live just the world’s accident? |
| Not a chance, so I move on with a smile. |
| Are you surprised where you are? |
| So breathe, breathe, deep for me James. |
| Don’t you feel that you’re free now from pain? |
| I’ve heard about heaven for years. |
| Can’t be sure where you are, wander on blessed James. |
| I’m fine with you here. |
| I grew up slow on the heels of the rest. |
| Left my heart back at home, carried you in my chest. |
| And I don’t feel like crying today. |
| Why can’t we talk for awhile? |
| And breathe, breathe, deep for me James. |
| Don’t you feel that you’re free now from pain? |
| I’ve heard about heaven for years. |
| Can’t be sure where you are, wander on blessed James. |
| I’m fine with you here. |
| You said, «Son, just listen to me.» |
| But I’m doing fine, James. |
| So you can sit back and just breathe. |
| And it’s time now to let yourself go. |
| Hold us close, spin the dream, |
| The curtain will fall but behind it I see that you’re here. |
