    Post I Will Breathe

    Walking under the scorching sun
    With only one goal in his mind
    He charged ahead of the convoy
    To cross the border before its shut down

    He made it, just as the sirens blared
    Lucky today but others were too scared
    He watched them scatter like rabbits
    Nothing to be done but time to split


    He whispered to himself:
    It's not over till
    I put my head down
    on my own pillow
    and once again I will breathe


    Over the rocky hills, and down the deserted valleys
    He picked his route hiding from the police
    He knew this was the only way to be free
    Invisible like a ghost he had to be

    No time to think about all the little faces
    Lef behind, think about your favorite places
    But oh memories creep in, a city smoldering
    Under the crossfire while kids do the soldiering

    He whispered:
    It's not over till
    I put my head down
    on my own pillow
    and once again I will breathe

    A journey of a thousand miles almost at an end
    A whole year on the road without a familiar face spent
    To arrive in a strange city with elegant streets
    Many fancy shops and restaurants to eat

    He asked himself is this my new paradise
    For a new life under a smoke free sky
    For a chance to have a shot at peace
    Without guns, bombs or violence

    He whispered:
    It's not over till
    I put my head down
    on my own pillow
    and once again I will breathe

    It's not over till
    I put my head down
    on my own pillow
    and once again I will breathe....
