I hold my breath You hold yours We're 'bout to take that leap So catch a good breath These waters look deep I say, yes, I will leap with you Into the deep The day, down the aisle My dad said with a smile Breathe, Just lean on me Life doesn't just happen We make it live, make it life And sometimes we make life As we now are leaping For more than two Me plus you, plus who? You hold your breath But say, "Don't hold yours, Breathe." Now catch a good breath Those waters look deep, mama Hours later our 1st is born. And we'll have one more Now we're leaping for four Together we held our breath And took that leap Caught a good breath Before the waters so very deep And we saw our reflections On the water day after day Life happens, but does not stay So, catch a good breath The waters of life are deep, Deep, deep But together we can take the leap 'Cause sometimes life does just happen It happens in deep waters It happens on earth It happens that we all return to the dust Life is a leap into the unknowable Deep waters.

Life Happens
I hold my breath You hold yours We're 'bout to take that leap So catch a good breath These waters look deep I say, yes, I will leap with you Into the deep The day, down the aisle My dad said with a smile Breathe, Just lean on me Life doesn't just happen We make it live, make it life And sometimes we make life As we now are leaping For more than two Me plus you, plus who? You hold your breath But say, "Don't hold yours, Breathe." Now catch a good breath Those waters look deep, mama Hours later our 1st is born. And we'll have one more Now we're leaping for four Together we held our breath And took that leap Caught a good breath Before the waters so very deep And we saw our reflections On the water day after day Life happens, but does not stay So, catch a good breath The waters of life are deep, Deep, deep But together we can take the leap 'Cause sometimes life does just happen It happens in deep waters It happens on earth It happens that we all return to the dust Life is a leap into the unknowable Deep waters.
