Story behind the song
Written for my cousin who was paralyzed after falling from a tree stand.
Confined to a wheelchair, he continues to hunt and fish.
He asked me to write him a song about the freedom the outdoors gives him.
Lyrics
I NEED TO BREATHE
When it feels like the weight of this crazy old world is crashing down on me
I look around and seems like trouble is all that I can see
I feel like I want to scream
I know exactly what I need
I need to breathe fresh air and feel the sunshine shining on my face
I need to escape to my secret fishing hole or hideout in my favorite hunting place
I need time for me and mother nature to come together and embrace
I need time with my friends and my family to enjoy all the gifts that my God gave
When I've had all the chaos I can take and I can't take no more
There's a place of peace and quite waiting for me right out my back door
It's a place where I am free
It's everything I need
I need to breathe fresh air and feel the sunshine shining on my face
I need to escape to my secret fishing hole or hideout in my favorite hunting place
I need time for me and mother nature to come together and embrace
I need time with my friends and my family to enjoy all the gifts that my God gave
It runs through my bloodstream, hunting, fishing, God and Family
These are the things I live and breathe
These are the things that set me free
I need to breathe fresh air and feel the sunshine shining on my face
I need to escape to my secret fishing hole or hideout in my favorite hunting place
I need time for me and mother nature to come together and embrace
I need time with my friends and my family to enjoy all the gifts that my God gave
