Second Wind

Underneath a clear blue sky
Here beneath this clear blue sky
My head is full of thunderclouds
My heart is raining pain and doubt
My eyes are seeing shadows everywhere

I don't know the reason why
Wish I knew the reason why
I'm 24 and out of breath
Feeling like there's nothing left
Cheatin' death but deep down
Wishing we was playing fair

And once they said the answer
Was blowing in the breeze
But no matter what it seems
I keep on questioning
Lord, if it hold some peace
Let me breathe it in again
It's times like these I need a second wind

Sometimes they feel like dead end dreams
Like all I've got are dead end dreams
Don't need to be some main event
Or another shameless president
I'd just like to know myself
'fore someone tells me what to be

And maybe this is breaking down
Yea, maybe this is breaking down
But I don't want your medicine
I don't want to just forget again
I wanna be more than just a victim
Of some spiritual disease

Once they said the answer
Was blowing in the breeze
But no matter what it seems
I keep on questioning
Lord, if it hold some peace
Let me breathe it in again
It's times like these I need a second wind

And baby, it's a long way down
They tell me it's a long way down
And maybe it's too much to bare
Or maybe I'm too numb to care
But if I fall, at least I might feel
That wind in my hair

Once they said the answer
Was blowing in the breeze
But no matter what it seems
I keep on questioning
Lord, if it hold some peace
Let me breathe it in again
It's times like these I need a second wind
