Lyrics

When big emotions come to stay
And they won’t go away
Take a moment soft and slow
Drop your shoulders let them go
You are safe, breathe with me
Count to five so calmy

1 - breathe in
2 - breathe out
3 - breathe in
4 - breathe out
5 - calm begins

One more breath in through your nose
Feeling it from head to toes
Take a moment soft and slow
Drop your shoulders let them go
Big feelings, they come and go
Like a river watch them flow

1 - breathe in
2 - breathe out
3 - breathe in
4 - breathe out
5 - calm begins

Big feelings, they come and go
You are safe and loved, you know.
