Midge Ure – Breathe – Testo

Lo scozzese Midge Ure lo abbiamo già ascoltato in Hymn degli Ultravox.

Breathe, singolo estratto dall’omonimo album del 1996, passò quasi inosservata al grande pubblico fino a quando non venne scelta come colonna sonora di uno spot della Swatch.

Il testo di Breathe (che in italiano significa Respiro)

With every waking breath i breathe
i see what life has dealt to me
with every sadness i deny
i feel a chance inside me die

give me a taste of something new
to touch, to put, to pull me through
send me a guiding light that shines
across this darkened life of mine

breathe some soul in me
breathe your gift of love to me
breathe life to lay ‘fore me
breathe to make me breathe

for every man who built he home
a paper promise for his own
he fight against an open flow
of lies and failures we all know

to those who have and who have not
how can you live with what you’ve got
give me a touch of something sure
i could be happy ever more

breathe some soul in me
breathe your gift of love to me
breathe life to lay ‘fore me
to see, to make me breathe
breathe your honesty
breathe your innocence to me
breathe your word
and set me free
breathe to make me breathe

this life prepares the strangest things
the dreams we dream of, what life brings
the highest highs can turn around
to sow love’s seeds on stony ground
