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 When you're standing on the edge You don't look down [Chorus 1] Till you're ready and willing to fly Now I'm one step closer With my arms open wide I'm one step closer And I'm willing 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 living Took a chance looked inside Didn't know who I'd find Standing on the corner of hello and goodbye All alone it's there I made up my mind [Chorus 1] [Verse 3] I'm sick of giving up With a little luck I'm gonna get out of here When you're standing on the edge You don't look down [Chorus 1]
