May Every Breath Be A Prayer

I want to go fishing, I swear this summer it will come to pass

In some clear mountain stream, knee-deep in the rippling glass

And I've got to see the ocean, with its scales shining in the sun

And not just any old ocean, but the Pacific from the 101

And I'll learn to play the fiddle, scratching out some old jigs and reels

Run my fingers down the neck till I memorize how it all feels

Gotta keep my eyes peeled, cause it all gets revealed, like snowflakes in the snow

May every breath be a prayer, let every smile say hello

And my boy just made a movie, it gives me chills every time it gets shown

Yeah it's such a great feeling, to see your friends coming into their own

And they're all around the world, yeah my circle just grows and grows

And we meet on the run, at airports and diners and shows

And to everyone having kids, the best gift I could give 'em by far

Is to say "bring 'em all around, I'll give 'em lessons on this old guitar"

And everything that I do, I'll be looking for you, cause you gotta be somewhere

Let every smile say hello, may every breath be a prayer

And I remember marching, it doesn't matter what I was marching for

Can we just find a way to shut down this bloody war

And your shoes are taped up, my arms are open wide

I welcome you in but I warn you it's a mess inside

There's so much to learn, so much, you have to let it go

And the moments spin 'round me, like snowflakes into the snow

And every day that I got, I'll be asking a lot, cause I just gotta know

May every breath be a prayer, let every smile say hello
