I know I can calm my body,
I know I can calm my mind,
When I'm sad or scared or angry,
Before I act unsafe or unkind.
Just by breathing, counting,
In-2-3, out-2-3
Breathing, counting,
Breathing.
When I feel my hands are shaking
When I feel my face get hot,
When there's tightness in my body,
Or my stomach is twisting in knots,
I'll try breathing, counting,
In-2-3, out-2-3
Breathing, counting,
Breathing.
When I think this might last forever,
When I want to run away,
If I want to hurt somebody,
I'll remember there's another way.
I'll be breathing, counting,
In-2-3, out-2-3
Breathing, counting,
Breathing.
