FriedPaint Music - One Step Away

One Step Away
Lyrics & Music
by Geoff Lewis

One step away
Is where I find myself today

Just one small step, one breath
One mighty leap of faith
And then I'll enter the joyful life

You told me
I would find
So full of peace and truth and light
And it’s growing inside
While I try
To stand in spite of this fear
Replace all my foolish pride
With the joy, the light
That will make everything all right
And then I'll finally get to stand by your side
But somehow still I find

I'm one step away
I need an answer
Will you really hear me?
Are you listening to my pleas
Yeah, I'm down on the ground
Cold and crying on my knees

When the bombs stop falling
And the tremblings cease
Still my heart keeps calling
For an urgent release
I need a rescue…
Can you give me a hand?
If I do what it takes
Then I know I'll finally stand

In the place you provide
Full of warmth and joy and light
And I'll sleep safely every night
Drinking deep in the joys of life
With the sun shining through the sky
But somehow still i find

I’m one step away from where i want to be

(Instrumental)

Yeah, when the bombs stop falling
And the tremblings cease
Still my heart keeps calling
For an urgent release
I need a rescue…
A rescue, a rescue
A need an urgent release

Then I'll be there in your sight
So full of grace and truth and life
And my heart will get to heal in time
When I finally let you open my eyes
And I start to choose to do things right
Keep my promises day and night

Then I won’t be one step away
From where I want to be with you
