avril lavigne - touch the sky

I used to carry this big old world
On my shoulders and back
I used to lie inside my room
Wondering where I'm at

I felt a chill running through my veins
And wondered, would I be saved?
I felt the ice building in my soul
Would it melt away?

He's a warm breeze
Breathing life into me
He's the sunlight
Shining down on me

I used to worry my life away
Counting every dime
Shutting out the ones I loved
Never finding the time

And then one day I was overcome
By loneliness and dispair
And deep inside I thought I heard
"Lean on me, I'm here"

He's a warm breeze
Breathing life into me
He's the sunlight
Shining down on me
I pulled the burden from off my back
And tossed it into the wind
And stretched my arms toward the sky
And let my life begin

And like a tree, I have measured up
Best when I've been cut down
And like a tree, I can touch the sky
With my feet on the ground

He's a warm breeze
Breathing life into me
He's the sunlight
Shining down on me

He's a warm breeze
Breathing life into me
He's the sunlight
Shining down on me, yeah
Shining down on me
Shining down, shining down
Shining down on me

If you realise she was singing this before she got a real singer-carriere, it's pretty good :)

[andygrammerfireflies]

@suiprev she did this song when she was 14 or 15 i think for something called the Quinte Spirit and album that was released in Napanee :) However she has a song called Darlin she wrote when she was 14 that is on her new album Goodbye Lullaby :)

@suiprev no, not on goodbye lulaby (sadly!) i think they should do an album with all the songs that arn't on any of her other cds. u can look at the songs if u view goodbye lulaby on play.com. hope dat helps! =]
