Breathe Again
It’s about more than the planet.
It’s about our sanity.
Our psyche.
Our soul.

LYRICS:
Shut the windows and shut the doors/ The air smells bad in the neighborhood/ Every day I pay to make poison/ I know there’s a way I can do what I should
I want to plug into the sun/ Turn onto the wind/ And when the smoke clears away/ Maybe then we can breathe again
Looking over my shoulder/ Doom is creeping up behind/ What’s around the next corner?/ The kids are starting to lose their minds
They need to plug into the sun/ Turn onto the wind/ And when the smoke clears away/ Maybe then we can breathe again
It’s getting so hot/ The highways are so crowded/ People getting so mean/ Isn’t it time we did something about it?
Oh, you know it’s time to plug into the sun/ Turn onto the wind/ And when the smoke clears away/ Maybe we can…
Share the world with each other/ Heal the world with each other/ Harmonize with nature/ Harmonize together…
Plug into the sun/ Turn onto the wind/ Plug into the sun/ Turn onto the wind/ Maybe then we can breathe again/ Maybe then we can dream again/ Maybe then we’ll be free again/ Maybe then we can see again/ When the smoke all clears away/ Maybe then we can breathe again.
“We have to do something about it – and we can. We know what to do.…Tell us what the price is. We want to pay it.” ~David Attenborough
