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 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 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 and 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 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 I'm one step closer I'm one step closer
