5 Minutes at a Time

[Verse 1]
Life is hard
But it’s been a little harder than usual lately
I wish I knew why I am struggling through this
What makes it harder is the lack of understanding on my part
Could I have changed this, why am I fighting life so hard?

[Pre-Chorus]
How long can I survive this?
I’m losing the strength to try
Tell me how am I supposed to live through this?
How do we get by?

[Chorus]
We take one breath and let it out
We take another and maybe somehow
Everything will work out to be just fine
We take life five minutes at a time
One breath and let it out
We take another and maybe somehow
Everything will work out to be just fine
We take life five minutes at a time

[Verse 2]
Life is hard
It didn’t turn out like I hoped it would be
And I don’t dare to dream
If dreaming leads to this
‘Cause when it’s left to me, it’s hard to see
Past the sky becoming dark
If it makes no difference, why am I trying to do my part?

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve climbed back from that fall again
It feels like a hundred times
How do I believe in a hundred and one
When we stumbled the ninety-nine?

[Chorus]
We take one breath and let it out
We take another and maybe somehow
Everything will work out to be just fine
We take life five minutes at a time
One breath and let it out
We take another and maybe somehow
Everything will work out to be just fine
We take life five minutes at a time

[Bridge]
To go on living
When all you’ve lived for is gone
To find faith
When everything you know about life might be wrong
To find hope in the dark
To still believe there’s a dawn
This is the courage to make a life
It is the strength to go on

[Chorus]
We take one breath and let it out
We take another and maybe somehow
Everything will work out to be just fine
We take life five minutes at a time
One breath and let it out
We take another and maybe somehow
Everything will work out to be just fine
We take life five minutes at a time
