The Breeze
WELCOME TO THE WORLD · Released 29 October 2025
Lyrics
The glass may be full, but the bottle is empty and the past is the equal of the love that you lent me. In the breeze of a friend, even brittle branches bend.
Like the ocean tide cools the burning sand A loved one takes you by the hand And deep inside a spark is fanned Till fires burn we don’t understand but the breeze of a friend makes the brittle branches bend. In the breeze of a friend, even brittle branches bend.
We can theorise and hypothesize Bring high and mighty down to size The revelation’s no surprise When finally we realise That the breeze of a friend makes the brittle branches bend. In the breeze of a friend, even brittle branches bend.
Feel the breeze Feel the breeze Feel the breeze of a friend, Feel your brittle branches… Feel your brittle branches… Feel the breeze of a friend, Feel your brittle branches bend.

About the song
True friendship can give us the support, stability, re-assurance and direction that we all need in our lives at times, no matter how independent, strong, smart or capable we think we are.
