How many times have we look to the heavens for help
and guidance. Strength to carry on. To not make anymore
mistakes? Then, from within, we gather as much muster
we have and find that little bit of hope that helps us rise
above the darkness.
And yes, that hope is what keeps us going day after
day because we are all worth saving and life is full
of wonderful gifts to enjoy and be blessed for.
One Last Breath
Creed
Please come now I think I'm falling
I'm holding on to all I think is safe
It seems I found the road to nowhere
And I'm trying to escape
I yelled back when I heard thunder
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say, let me say
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
Maybe six feet ain't so far down
I'm looking down now that it's over
Reflecting on all of my mistakes
I thought I found the road to somewhere
Somewhere in His grace
I cried out heaven save me (save me)
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say, let me say
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
Maybe six feet ain't so far down
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
Maybe six feet ain't so far down, I'm so far down
Sad eyes follow…
In this song, the person that Scott Stapp sings about thinks
that his life is over, but with his last breath he's trying to hold
on to life and the things he loves about it. He's going nowhere
in his life, and he's trying to escape. Later in the song, his outlook
gets even darker ("now that it's over"), and he's reflecting on
the mistakes he made and crying out to heaven for help.
In the last part of the song he has found the strength to go on
("But I still believe there's something left for me"), and even
though he's down to his last breath, he still thinks that his life
will get better.
