Ayelle - Breathe Lyrics

I've been unrooted
Thought I was meant to be
Always unrooted
Chasing a fantasy

But I'm reaching back down into the earth
Feeling my feet upon the ground
Life can be such a piece of work
But I'm only playing

I don't wanna live to work
I finally see my worth
I want a life of peace
I need space to be

Space to be, uh, give me space to breathe
Space to be, uh, give me space to breathe

And I've been misguided
Finding it hard to speak up
No I could barely catch my breath
And do something about it

Like reaching back down into the earth
And feeling my feet upon the ground
Life can be such a piece of work
But I'm only playing

I don't wanna live to work
I finally see my worth
I want a life of peace
I need space to be

This society tries to convince us that the masculine qualities of productivity and output
Are more valuable than the feminine qualities of softness and receiving
From here on out I am only taking inspired action
And letting everything else fall away and create space
To rest
To receive
To be
To breathe
To exist as a creative being

I don't wanna live to work
I finally see my worth
I want a life of peace
I need space to be

Space to be, uh, give me space to breathe
Space to be, uh, give me space to breathe
