lyrics

First Summer Breeze
Written by Erik Kjelland, 2015

VERSE 1
Hold tight, stay with me tonight
I know, its a hardship to divide
All the glitter in this world
From the wreckage on the shoreline

These days, not much to celebrate
Build walls, and fortify the gates
There's corruption on the streets
And distrust between the sheets
But we've been through it all
Yeah we've seen it all

PRECHORUS
Every chain, can be broken
Every door that is shut, can be opened

CHORUS
Here comes the relief, oh oh oh oh
Its riding on the back of a breeze
Oh, oh, oh oh oh oh
Its covering you, its preaching to me
Its the first summer breeze


VERSE 2
At times, we all lose control
A wrong step, can leave you in a hole
Filled with anger and disgrace
Failure painted on your face

Dreaming, driving through the snow
I see, no lines upon the road
There's a pileup on the interstate
Hope I’m alive when will I wake
Better slow it down
I better slow, it, down

PRECHORUS 2
Every word, every warning
Every breath you create in the morning

CHORUS

VERSE 3 (Instrumental)

PRECHORUS 3
Every life, has a purpose
Even sinners like me, who don’t feel, that they deserve it

CHORUS
