One Step Closer

[Verse 1]

I've seen the heart of darkness

Let's just say I crossed over that line

Held hands with the hopeless

In too deep on that ride, went around one more time

[Pre-Chorus]

When you're standin' on the edge, you don't look down

'Til you're ready and willin' to fly

[Chorus]

Now I'm one step closer

With my arms open wide, yeah

I'm one step closer

And I'm willin' to try this time

[Verse 2]

I hitched a ride with forgiveness

In that river of emotion, I went down a third time

I spent the night with the livin'

Took a chance, looked inside, didn't know who I'd find

[Pre-Chorus]

Standin' on the corner of hello and goodbye

All alone, it's there, I made up my mind

[Chorus]

Yeah, I'm one step closer

With my arms open wide, yeah

I'm one step closer

And I'm willin' to try

[Bridge]

I'm sick of givin' up

Ooh, with a little luck

I'm gonna get out of here

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]

When you're standing on the edge, you don't look down

'Til you're ready and willin' to fly

[Chorus]

I'm one step closer

With my arms open wide, yeah

I'm one step closer

And I'm willin' to try, yeah

I'm one step closer

Yeah, I'm one step closer
