Give me the space to breathe The time to hear myself think I'm so tired of trying to be What everyone wants of me Cos I ain't no Superman But I do the best I can I work five days a week I feel like a hamster on its wheel Bridge 1: But I am only human And some days I've taken enough So here and now I'm taking the time to stop Finally I'm free Free to grow Free to breathe Finally I'm free There's no chains holding me Step by step And one day at a time I'm gonna live my life With an open mind I'm gonna give myself The freedom to fall And the right to be wrong I'm gonna give myself a break The freedom to make mistakes See sometimes you gotta fall Or you may never rise at all I'm gonna learn to go with the flow And accept what I can't control I'm taking off this heavy load Old fears I'm letting go Bridge 2: Cos I am only human And some days I've taken enough So here and now I'm taking the time to stop Finally I'm free Free to grow Free to breathe Finally I'm free There's no chains holding me Step by step And one day at a time I'm gonna live my life With an open mind I'm gonna give myself The freedom to fall And the right to be wrong Middle Eight: Let go Just let go Let God And just let go Cos you are only human after all Finally I'm free Free to grow Free to breathe Finally I'm free Free to grow Free to breathe Finally I'm free There's no chains holding me Step by step And one day at a time I'm gonna live my life With an open mind I'm gonna give myself The freedom to fall And the right to be wrong
