As We Live And Breathe by Steve Forbert Lyrics

They say hope it springs eternal in a young man's breast
And every time you turn around
They're puttin' it to the test
And it's stand up to your letdowns, boy
And take 'em on the chin
Gotta hold your head up high above the water rushin' in
See the monsters in their madness
Doing their evil everywhere
Now they've trapped another angel on the rooftop up the stairs
Said it takes all kinds, well, listen, man, it don't
But they're all here
And we gotta live with livin'
Gotta live with livin' fear...

As we live and breathe (as we live and breathe)
As we live and breathe (as we live and breathe)
As we live and breathe (as we live and breathe)
Somehow, we must believe

Hear the figure at the fountain tell you things about yourself
That you've never said a word about to anybody else
Go and listen to the woman singing sweetly in your room
Feel that kickin' little baby moving restless in her womb...
As we live and breathe (as we live and breathe)
As we live and breathe (as we live and breathe)
As we live and breathe (as we live and breathe)
Somebody must believe

Yeah...

Take a look at all the detail in a single little thing
Just a single little snowflake or a tiny insect wing
Tell me who could make the clouds
And make 'em move across the sky?
Who could make your mind
And put it here to wonder why?

As we live and breathe (as we live and breathe)
As we live and breathe (as we live and breathe)
As we live and breathe (as we live and breathe)
We know we must believe

All right
