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

'Til 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

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

I'm one step closer

With my arms open wide

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 you're standing on the edge

You don't look down

'Til 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

I'm one step closer

I'm one step closer
