Do You know me?

Are you breathin'
When I'm in the air
Do you feel me
When you comb your hair

Can you feel the rain
Hit the side as you walk around you
Like an angel's heart
I'll fly high as a hidden cloud

And you know me...
Yes you know me...

Do I scare you
When I come too close
Does the room you're in
come to a sudden cloud

I can hear you cry
Like a kid with an injured knee
I can see you pray for me
Before you lay to sleep

Do you know me
You should know me

How can you feel alone at night
Even when I'm by your side
Can you hear me laugh in the wind
Does it ease your mind
If you never see me again
I will always be your friend
Like an angel's heart
I'll blend within the wind

Do you see me

Yeah, you should see me
I can fly, I can fly
How high? As high as the wind can fly

Yeah you should know me
Oh! Yeah I'm your ghost
I'm watching over you
Oh! I'm your ghost

If you never let me know
How will I know
How can I be your guide
Are you fearing death or life
Can you make up your mind

Do you know me?

Friendship is a promise
spoken only by the heart,

it isn't given by any pledge,
it isn't written on just any paper,

but friendship
is a promise that is renewed
every time two friends meet
and smile and enjoy
the good times
that come from simply
being together.

It's a promise
to share
both glad
and sad times.

A promise to think
of each other fondly
whether near or far apart.

Friendship
is promise spoken only by heart…

A promise
that you and I will always share!

(Truly) All depends on the Breath:

"Without it,
we are nothing.

Worship it as your soul–
for surely it is that.

All breath
depends upon the wind–
that connecting us to all else

The wind,
God’s breath,
nourishes us
lifts us up,
allows us to be.

Therefore,

Give thanks
for breath
and the wind.

They are
our best friends.

Though invisible,
together
they are our
foundation.

May you breathe
and dance
in the wind,
forever......."
