During a performance with the Lennox Community Theatre, Avril was spotted by folksinger Stephen Medd who invited her to contribute vocals on the song for his 1999 album, Quinte Spirit.
I used to carry this big old world on my shoulders and back
I used to lie inside my room wondering where i'm at
I felt a chill running through my veins, and wondered, would I be saved?
I felt the ice building in my soul, would it melt away?
He's a warm breeze, breathing life into me
He's the sunlight, shining down on me
I used to worry my life away, counting every dime
Shutting out the ones I loved, never finding the time
And then one day I was overcome, by loneliness and despair
Deep inside I thought I heard, lean on me i'm here
He's a warm breeze, breathing life into me
He's the sunlight, shining down on me
I pulled the burden off my back, and tossed it into the wind
I stretched my arms towards the sky, and let my life begin
And like a tree I had measured up, best when I had been cut down
And like a tree I could touch the sky, with my feet on the ground
He's a warm breeze, breathing life into me
He's the sunlight, shining down on me x2
Yeah,
shining down on me, shining down, shining down, shining down on me
