Lyrics Verse 1 Life tried to bend me but the spine stayed strong Storms kept coming but I kept moving on I seen nights where the world felt cold Pressure on my chest like a mountain of stone But every time the darkness tried swallowing me Two lights in my life kept guiding me God in my spirit when the road got steep And the woman I love when I couldn’t sleep They the reason I breathe when the air get thin Reason I stand when the storms roll in When the world say quit and the fight look done Faith say rise and the war ain’t won ⸻ Hook My wife and God the reason I breathe When the storm hit hard they steady my feet When the world go dark and the nights get deep Love and faith the promise I keep My wife and God the reason I stand Even when the pressure crush the man And I swear on the life I lead I won’t waste the breath in me ⸻ Verse 2 Little sister gone when the world was young Three years old when heaven called you home Ciérra… your name still echo my chest Some wounds in life never truly rest I carried anger like armor and steel Every fight just hiding what I feel But time taught truth through the years I breathe Love don’t leave when somebody leave So I carry your name like a light inside Not a storm where the anger hide Every step that I take in life Trying to live in a way that’s right ⸻ Hook My wife and God the reason I breathe When the storm hit hard they steady my feet When the world go dark and the nights get deep Love and faith the promise I keep My wife and God the reason I stand Even when the pressure crush the man And I swear on the life I lead I won’t waste the breath in me ⸻ Verse 3 Future me if the road get rough If the money fall low and the nights get tough Remember this truth when the doubt get loud You survived storms that would break a crowd You still got love when the sky turn grey Still got faith when the light fade away And every step that you take with care Little sister spirit still right there So stand your ground when the winds blow strong Keep your heart where it always belong Cause some battles we fight just to prove one thing That love outlives everything.
