In the undertow   Of a muddy river's ebb and flow   Is a hand that will not let go   The current is strong   The river is deep      In the aftergow   Of the fire that tore through the room below   Someone calls through the smoke...   "All you can do is try to breathe   to breathe   to breathe   to breathe"      When the road is steep   And the ground gives way beneath your feet   It's the last place you want to be   The air here is thin   You must try to breathe   to breathe   to breathe   to breathe      In the undertow   Of a muddy river's ebb and flow   Is a hand that will not let you go   That belongs to someone like me   Who's holding your head and helping you   breathe   to breathe   to breathe   to breathe      You need to be free   You need to be free
