When you're tired and scared and feelin' alone
When you feel the world just won't throw you a bone
When you've tried everything and just don't know what else to do
When you're lookin' for somethin' to help pull you through
But you're scared that when you try you might fail
And you're terrified of what's just beyond the edge of the trail
When you're chewin' your nails and your hair's fallin' out
And you just want to cry and weep and shout
And when you feel you've got a rope wrapped tight 'round your neck
And your great unsinkable vessel is a quick rusting wreck
Just gather your things and load up your pack
And come find me, I'll watch your back.

Warm breezes, warm breeze...
