You said, "Young man, dont rely on a sword,
Cause your words will outlive even time."
Ive counted my blessings. The rest are for you.
Please listen close for a while,
And breathe, breathe, deep for me James.
Dont you feel that youre free now from pain?
Ive heard about heaven for years.
Cant be sure where you are, wander on blessed James.
Im fine with you here.

I made the mistake once of fearing an end.
Is this life that we live just the worlds accident?
Not a chance, so I move on with a smile.
Are you surprised where you are?
So breathe, breathe, deep for me James.
Dont you feel that youre free now from pain?
Ive heard about heaven for years.
Cant be sure where you are, wander on blessed James.
Im 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 dont feel like crying today.
Why cant we talk for awhile?
And breathe, breathe, deep for me James.
Dont you feel that youre free now from pain?
Ive heard about heaven for years.
Cant be sure where you are, wander on blessed James.
Im fine with you here.

You said, "Son, just listen to me."
But Im doing fine, James.
So you can sit back and just breathe.
And its time now to let yourself go.
Hold us close, spin the dream,
The curtain will fall but behind it I see that youre here.
