A breath in a bottle Take a final breath, put it in a bottle Put it in the sea and it sinks to the bottom Slowly getting farther and farther from light No matter how thick no matter its might When the bottle hits the bottom it always will break And the bubble comes up for new lives to make And the air above is made of countless breaths Taken and given and taken again |

hmm I don't agree as I believe it would rise, not sink the message would therefore be 'light' hearted live...and let be the end result may be the same.... |

the breath is the breath of life the sinking is the eventual death we all experience, thats why it has to break. everything dies. and the air above the water is the hindu god |
