lyrics

Other people’s lives got me pullin and pullin and
I don’t even see my own right in front of my eyes
Other people’s lives got me runnin and runnin in circles
till I see the worth of a steadier stride
Other people thinkin whatever they gonna think and that don’t
mean a thing until I let it win me over
Mine is but a life is all of everything breathin and breathin
deep as I choose
deep as I choose

Other people’s minds got me spinning and spinning till I don’t
even know my meaning, don’t even feel my own rhythm so
I take on what I find, I become what I am given
but without my own intention doesn’t have a rhyme or reason, so
I'm goin past the sight, goin past what I see
passing all the thinkin, beyond what I believe
Mine is but a life is all of everything breathin and breathin
deep as I choose
deep as I choose
deep as I choose

So soft, let it fade, fall away
How you keep from being swayed
Keep your mind set to a mark
Climb the mountain in the dark
Let it fade, fall away
In between what you are made of
See the waves and let them part
Climb the mountain in the dark

Other people’s lives got me pulling and pulling and
I don’t even see my own right in front of my eyes
other people’s lives got me runnin and runnin in circles
till I see the worth of a steadier stride (steady go)
Other people thinking whatever they gonna think and that don’t
mean a thing until I let it win me over
mine is but a life is all of everything breathin and breathin
deep as I choose
deep as I choose
deep as I choose

So soft, let it fade, fall away
How you keep from being swayed
Keep your mind set to a mark
Climb the mountain in the dark
Let it fade, fall away
In between what you are made of
See the waves and let them part
Climb the mountain in the dark
let it fade, fall away
How to keep from being swayed
Keep your mind set to the mark
Climb the mountain in the dark
Let it fade, fall away
In between what you are made of
See the waves and let them part
Climb the mountain in the dark
