One Step Closer

Verse 1
I’ve been walking through the dark with my eyes wide open,
Trying to believe the words that were never spoken.
Some nights I fall, some days I crawl,
But I’m still standing through it all.

I don’t need the answers, I don’t need a sign,
Just a little faith to get me through tonight.

Pre-Chorus
I’ve learned the hard way, scars don’t lie,
But they prove I’m still alive.

Chorus
I’m taking it one day at a time,
One breath, one step, one heartbeat closer.
When the weight of the world is too hard to climb,
I hold on to love like it’s pulling me over.
I don’t need to save the world tonight,
Just be strong enough to try.
I’m not perfect, but I’m here,
And that makes me my own kind of hero.

Verse 2
I’ve been broken by fear, by words I believed,
By promises made that were never for me.
But every fall taught me how to rise,
Every tear helped me see clearer inside.

I don’t need a spotlight, I don’t need a crown,
Just someone who won’t let me give up now.

Pre-Chorus
If I stumble, I’ll still move ahead,
‘Cause courage is choosing not to quit instead.

Chorus
I’m taking it one day at a time,
One breath, one step, one heartbeat closer.
When the weight of the world is too hard to climb,
I hold on to love like it’s pulling me over.
I don’t need to save the world tonight,
Just be strong enough to try.
I’m not perfect, but I’m here,
And that makes me my own kind of hero.

Bridge
Maybe heroes don’t fly or wear a disguise,
Maybe they’re just people who don’t say goodbye.
To their dreams, to their hope, to the light inside,
Even when they’re terrified.

Final Chorus
I’m taking it one day at a time,
Through the doubt, through the fire, through the pain.
If I fall, I’ll rise again and again,
With love as my shield in the rain.
I don’t need to change the world tonight,
Just keep my heart alive.
I’m still standing, I’m still here,
And that makes me a hero tonight.

Outro
One day at a time…
I’m still alive.
