Sit

When I was young
I lost my only toy
My father called me
Out from the rain
Where I searched
He said
"Son, don't be sad
Things go missing
All the time."
I didn't know
What to do
So I cried
I lost my lover last month
My father held me
Out in the rain
Where I stood
He said
"Son, please take care
People come and go
But why her, and why now
I don't know."

But if you ever feel
Like your world is crashing down
Just close your eyes and breathe
Take a seat
Bow your head
Like my father said
"Just sit and breathe, my dear."
Oh sit and breathe, my dear

When your eyes
Have cried all their tears
And the world carries on
For years and years
Slowly you'll find
That you've healed somehow
Through the night, my dear
Through the dark
And some day
You'll feel okay
And you'll look at the past
And all you'll say is
"I've been through a lot
But I'm here right now
I'll be fine
Oh, I'll be fine"

But if I ever feel
Like my world is crashing down
I close my eyes and breathe
Take a seat
Bow my head
Like my father said
"Just sit and breathe, my dear."
I'll sit and breathe, my dear
