Verse 1
Woke up believing today was the day,
Finally felt like the skies cleared away.
Then life came crashing in without warning,
Turning my sunrise back into a storm.
I've learned the road isn't straight or fair,
Some dreams disappear into thin air.
Some days I'm running, some days I'm slow,
But quitting's one thing I'll never know.
Pre-Chorus
Every scar reminds me why
The strongest hearts refuse to die.
Chorus
One step forward, two steps back,
Life keeps trying to pull me off the path.
But every time I hit the ground,
I find a reason to stand back up.
One step forward—that's enough.
Hope is built one step at a time.
You can't stop a heart that won't give up,
So I'll keep moving through the dust.
One step forward...
That's how mountains learn to move.
Verse 2
I've watched the doors I prayed for close,
I've carried weights nobody knows.
I've questioned every winding road,
Still found the strength to bear the load.
The view gets clearer looking behind,
Every setback shaped this life.
Maybe the climb was never meant
To be easy—it was meant to change me.
Pre-Chorus
Every scar reminds me why
The strongest hearts refuse to die.
Chorus
One step forward, two steps back,
Life keeps trying to pull me off the path.
But every time I hit the ground,
I find a reason to stand back up.
One step forward—that's enough.
Hope is built one step at a time.
You can't stop a heart that won't give up,
So I'll keep moving through the dust.
One step forward...
That's how mountains learn to move.
Bridge
If today is all I've got,
Then today is worth the fight.
I don't need to see the end,
Just enough light for the next step.
Every sunrise whispers, "Go."
Even when the answer's slow.
Progress isn't measured by speed,
It's measured by the strength to believe.
Final Chorus
One step forward, two steps back,
I'm still walking, and that's a fact.
Every stumble, every scar
Only shows me who You say I are.
One step forward—that's enough.
Tomorrow starts with just one step.
I'll keep choosing hope over fear,
One more breath, one more year.
One step forward...
Again.
Again.
Again.
That's how warriors win.
