I've seen the heart of darkness,
Let just say, I crossed over that line,
Held hands with the hopeless,
In too deep,on that ride, went around one more time,
When you're 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 at third time,
I spend the night with the living,
Took a chance, looked inside,
Didn't know who I'd find,
Standing on the corner of the long goodbye,
All alone scared, 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,
There's a little luck,
I'm gonna get out of here,

(solo)

When you're standing on the edge,
Don't look down,
Til you're ready and willing to fly,

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.
