Verse 1
I wake up and rub my eyes
Another morning I don’t recognize
Clock keeps ticking, can’t slow it down
Heavy thoughts try to pull me down
Used to chase every mountain high
Used to run hard, never asking why
Now every challenge feels like weight
Standing face to face with doubt and fate
Pre-Chorus
Then the water hits my skin
And something starts waking up again
Chorus
One minute at a time
One step, one breath, one hill to climb
I may bend but I won’t break
Even when my soul feels the scars the pain
The doubt starts fading with the light
The path comes clearer in my sight
Yeah the fire may burn low sometimes
But it’s still alive
One minute at a time
Verse 2
Mirror fogged and my mind runs wild
Trying to find that strength inside
Pressure builds like pouring rain
But quitting only feeds the pain
So I straighten up and face the day
Even if I stumble on the way
Somewhere deep beneath the scars
There’s still a fighters heart
Pre-Chorus
And every small step forward now
Feels like learning to breathe again
Chorus
One minute at a time
One step, one breath, one hill to climb
I may bend but I won’t break
Even when my soul feels the scars the pain
The doubt starts fading with the light
The path comes clearer in my sight
Yeah the fire may burn low sometimes
But it’s still alive
One minute at a time
Bridge
Not every battle looks the same
Sometimes surviving is the win you claim
And the strongest hearts you’ll ever know
Are the ones that keep moving slow
Final Chorus
One minute at a time
That’s how I’m getting through this life
No I’m not where I wanna be
But I’m stronger than the fear in me
And when the dark tries pulling tight
I keep reaching for the light
Yeah the fire may burn low sometimes
But it’s still alive
One minute at a time
