BREATHE EASY

Hey, everyone tells me

Girl breathe easy

You think you've got it rough

Well that's not true

You are young and healthy

Strong and able

Why don't you stop and think

When you feel blue

~~~*Chorus*~~~

You have a home

A place where you are safe

To truly live

You have a job

You don't have to beg the state

For what they'll give

You've got it made

Things could be much worse girl

You believe me

So count these blessings up

And breathe easy

~~*~~

No,  I don't have to shoot 

At my Brothers

Like our Forefathers did

For what was right

And I don't have to beg

For a dinner

Because a great depression

Changed my life

No, I don't have to fear

Little children

Set to blow me apart

In Vietnam

So when I feel I'm sinking

I'm just selfish

I stop and think about

Where I went wrong

~~~*Chorus*~~~

I have a home

A place where I am safe

To truly live

I have a job

I don't have to beg the state

For what they'll give

I've got it made

Things could be much worse ya'll 

You believe me

So count your blessings up

And breathe easy

~~*~~
