Sometimes when I sing and dance
The air goes out of me
My heart beats faster, pitter patter
To help me try to breathe
Sometimes when I run and play
My breathing gets too fast
I huff and puff and turn bright red
And then I start to laugh 

(Chorus)
Let’s all breathe
We’ll count to ten, breathing out and in
Start together, a breath of fresh air
One (inhale), two (exhale), three, let’s all breathe
Four (inhale) five (exhale), feeling alive
Six, seven, eight, nine, close your eyes this time
Counting all the way to ten – 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Let’s try again

Sometimes when I pretend
I’m a bird that’s soaring high
I wave my arms and take big breaths
As I try to fly
Sometimes when I jump around
My breath gets fast and hot
I take gulps of air to fill my lungs and
Jump with all I’ve got
Let’s all breathe!

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Breathe in….
[inhale]
Sing out…
Ooooooooo x4

Sometimes when I’m sad or mad
My breathing hits a glitch
A tickle deep inside my throat
That I just can’t itch
Sometimes when I’m tired out my breathing gets so slow
I stretch up tall and take big breaths and
soon feel good to go

(Chorus)
Let’s all breathe!
We’ll count to ten, breathing out and in
Start together, a breath of fresh air
One (inhale), two (exhale), three, let’s all breathe
Four (inhale) five (exhale), feeling alive,
Six, seven, eight, nine, close your eyes this time
Counting all the way to ten – 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
and back again
Ten, nine, eight, feeling great,
Seven (inhale), six (exhale) – there are no tricks,
Five and four, just a couple more 
Three…two…one
And we’re all done!
