Need to Breathe

The mission of the Alice Paul House is to provide safety to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, to assist and empower all victims, and to promote awareness of these issues in our community.


And for 25 years, the great folks at Alice Paul house have been doing just that. To help celebrate this milestone, we are producing a new song called "Need to Breathe" written by Anthony Frazier. This song is being professionally recorded by Sean Moran of Mostuda Productions.

We would like to invite anyone who would want to help with backing vocals to take part in this historic recording session. We are primarily looking for women and children, and men are invited as well.

The “LIVE” background recording is set for July 22, 2007 @ 7:00pm at the Church of the Brethren hall on route 286, directly across from the Rustic Lodge. No singing ability is required. The Chorus lyrics will be provided and practice time will be offered. If you would like more information and/or to take part in this recording, please Contact Susan Kelly at 724-465-5128

Here's the song

Verse I

Life without bruises
Love without shame
No need to hide when
the day brings the rain

No need to run when the shouting
begins

Verse II

Love without hitting
Love without blame
Protecting the children
make it a game
no need to hide when
the conflict begins

Chorus

I'm gonna live
I'm going to live
I'm to start all over again
right here

I need to breathe
I need to breathe
I'm going to pick up the pieces
and start again

Verse III

Life without fighting
Love without games
hiding the pain
when the name calling reins
no need to sleep
when the morning comes

Chorus

Bridge

I got my life to live
and I’m going to live
the future's here and
it's not a dream
and for all the ones
lost before the dawn

Chorus

Words/Music Anthony Frazier
