[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
When you're standing on the edge
You don't look down

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 2]
I hitched a ride with forgiveness
In that river of emotion
I went down a third time
I spent thе night with the living
Took a chance looked insidе
Didn't know who I'd find
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Standing on the corner of hello and goodbye
All alone it's there I made up my mind

[Chorus 2]
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...

[Bridge]
I'm sick of giving up
With a little luck
I'm gonna get out of here

[Pre-Chorus 3]
When you're standing on the edge
You don't look down

[Chorus 3]
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 it
[Outro]
I'm one step closer
I'm one step closer
