you said young man don’t rely on a sword   cause your words will outlive even time   i’ve counted my blessings    the rest are for you   please listen close for a while      and breathe, breathe deep for me james   don’t you feel that you’re free now from pain   i've heard about heaven for years   can’t be sure where you are   wander on blessed james    i’m fine with you here      i made the mistake once of fearing an end   is this life that we live just the world’s accident   not a chance so i move on with a smile   are you surprised where you are      so breathe, breathe deep for me james   don’t you feel that you’re free now from pain   i've heard about heaven for years   can’t be sure where you are    wander on blessed james   i’m fine with you here      i grew up slow on the heels of the rest   left my heart back at home   carried you in my chest   and i don’t feel like crying today   why can’t we talk for a while      and breathe, breathe deep for me james   don’t you feel that you’re free now from pain   i’ve heard about heaven for years   can’t be sure where you are   wander on blessed james   i’m fine with you here      you said son, just listen to me   but i’m doing fine, james   so you can sit back and just breathe   and it's time now to let yourself go   hold us close   spin the dream   the curtain will fall but behind it   i see that you're here
