Take a Step
I reach deep down inside, into my chest of gold
Digging and searching, for that courage of old
To conquer my fears, and get through the pain
To have faith that it'll be ok, so I don't go insane
Found my token of treasure, I give it a kiss
Thankful to have what I need at a time like this
Seems so impossible to face the world, but I just cant quit
Wont be able to reach the mountaintop, if I'm prone to sit
One step at a time, eyes forward and never looking back
My mind's focused, now my heart's steady and surely on track
Head's to the sky, like a steel mountain it can't go down
Too far along in my journey, too late to turn around
Slipped and stumbled on a rock, there’s no time to stop
Gotta get back up, keep going, yes I can see the top
Body rapidly weakens, but the spirit remains strong
Since I last got to breathe and rest, it’s been far too long
Finally the time is near, almost at my destination
Made it this far with poignant love and motivation
Fingertips extended out, within my reach, I want it bad
I can make it, I can do it, despite the challenges I just had
Standing at the top, on my feet, inhale a chunk of air
Looking down, what the world thinks of me, I don't care
It's my biggest dream that I've accomplished and achieved
It's in myself that I finally trusted and truly believed
Life's a workout, give it your all till the last rep
Can't fulfill your destiny, till you take the first step.....
