One Step Closer

I've seen the heart of darkness
Lets just say, I crossed over that line
Held hands with the hopeless
In too deep on that ride, went around one more time
When youre standing on the edge
You don't look down
Till you ready and willing to fly
Now I'm one step closer
With my arms open wide
Yeah, I'm one step closer
And I'm willing to try this time
I hitched a ride with forgiveness
In that river of emotion
I went down a third time
I spent the night with the living
Took a chance looked inside
Didnt know who id find
Standing on the corner of hello and goodbye
All alone its there I made up my mind
I'm, one step closer
With my arms open wide
Yeah, I'm one step closer
And I'm willing to try
I'm sick of giving up
With a little luck
I'm gonna get out of here
When youre standing on the edge
You don't look down
till youre ready and your willing to fly
Now I'm one step closer
With my arms open wide
Yeah, I'm one step closer
And I'm willing to try, yeah
I'm one step closer
Yeah, I'm one step closer
