Lyrics:

Sing we now our mid-year hymn

Breathe in love

Breathe in

Shush your mind with oxygen

Breathe in love

Breathe in

You need this

Amen

Rest thy voice click-off thy pen

Breathe in love

Pluck not thy weary mandolin

Breathe in love

Breathe in

You need this

Amen

Take thy summer medicine

Breathe in love

With one foot in the looney bin

Breathe in love

And when Fall asks you where you’ve been

You can breathe out

Again

So breathe in love

Breathe in

You need this

Amen
