Lyrics
Inhale, exhale, there I am
Breath in the air
I'm not this shell, I'm not these bones
I'm floating beyond
There I am
Open window, there I am
Breath in the air
Hear the sound like a whisper
That's my voice
There I am, there I am, there I am
Sunlight and shadow, there I am
I'm darkness and light
I can't be caught, can't be held
Close your eyes
And there I am
Slowly waking there I am
As the dream starts to fade
I'm not quite here, but I'm not quite there
You reach out for me
There I am, there I am, there I am
Inhale, hold it, there I am
I'm part of you now
You're my glove, my balloon, but not for long
You exhale
Then I'm gone
Inhale, exhale, there I am
There I am, there I am, there I am
