Popeye's Battle

Location

Breathe in, breathe out.

 

You can take my hair, you can take my blood;

take my happiness, but never my love.

You can take my memories, you can take the good times;

let me move on, let me close my eyes.

 

Breathe in, breathe out.

 

Take my fresh air, take my freedom;

take my ability to breathe on my own.

Take my faith, take all I have to give;

Don’t take my ignorance, don’t tell me how long I have to live.

 

Breathe in, breathe out.

 

I’m finally at peace, I’m not afraid;

just tell me you love me, let me walk away.
