I wrote this with a friend in mind, feeling that sometimes life is so busy, with a routine of daily life that seems to go on for ever. Sometimes God reminds us of the simplicities in being alive and this song is about getting back to that. I had a very strong visual image of this person feeling the need to leave the house and just walk across a beautiful meadow by the house, smelling flowers, listening to the birds sing, feeling the breeze and appreciating all that the senses take in. The visual image was strong and I wanted to represent this in the song, so listen carefully and you’ll actually hear real birds and the breeze...

Push the door
Go outside -
I want to feel the breeze,
Feel the air on my face,
And I want to walk in open space -
I just feel the need,
And it seems like heaven.

You are the gentle breeze,
You are beautiful,
And I want to walk outside with you.
Will you let me near?
Can I hold your hand?
So we walk together,
Proud to be with you.

Mind the sun,
Shield your eyes.
See the horizon meet the sky.
See the flowers blowing
With your gentle breeze,
Beautiful.

You are the gentle breeze,
You are beautiful,
And I want to walk outside with you.
Will you let me near?
Can I hold your hand?
So we walk together
Proud to be with you.
