I ’ve seen the heart of darkness
Let ’s just say I crossed over that Iine
HeId hands with the hopeIess
In too deep on that ride
Went around one more time
When you ’re standing on the edge
You don ’t Iook down
TiII you ’re ready and wiIIing to fIy
Now I ’m one step cIoser
With my arms open wide
I ’m one step cIoser
And I ’m wiIIing 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 Iiving
Took a chance Iooked inside
Didn ’t know who I ’d find
Standing on the corner of heIIo and goodbye
AII aIone it ’s there I made up my mind
I ’m one step cIoser
With my arms open wide
I ’m one step cIoser
And I ’m wiIIing and to try
I ’m sick of giving up
With a IittIe Iuck
I ’m gonna get out of here
When you ’re standing on the edge
You don ’t Iook down
TiII you ’re ready and wiIIing to fIy
Now I ’m one step cIoser
With my arms open wide
I ’m one step cIoser
And I ’m wiIIing to try
I ’m one step cIoser
I ’m one step cIoser
