Steps
As I follow the path to you
I work hard
try to fight
everything I have heard
from society
I take
one step forward
two steps back
Temptation
from every corner
refuse to follow
but sometimes, Lord,
I stray
So I take
one step forward
one step back
You know I try, Lord
But sometimes,
It's hard without
friends with me
on my trip
to you
Take
one more step forward
and still another step back
I want to believe in you, God
But you know all of
my struggles
with everything
I lose and fall daily
But I'll always have your guidance
As I take
one step forward
and no steps back
I combat fierceness
But I still look to you
I trip on the road to heaven, Lord,
but I know that
I can always choose
to get back up again.
