I've had major songwriter's block recently... I tried to sit down and write several times and nothing came until finally today. I started out by creating this cool guitar thing that I ended up using during the verses and then I managed to get words. This is a Christian song so my inspiration writing this one was God. (At least it wasn't some tragic thing that a friend went through this time..). I wasn't necessarily planning on it being a christian song at first, but it just kind of happened as I went along.
Verse:
I'm one step closer
But I'm three steps falling behind
I keep on losing
This tug of war every time
I try to move on
But my fears keep on pulling me down
I keep on screaming
But nobody hears a sound
Prechorus:
This world it tries to change me
I am going crazy
God, tell me what to do
I want to trust you
Chorus:
Take me far away
From this sin infested place
God, hold me in your hand
I'm not safe where I am
Your love, it draws me in
And with you, I'll finally win
I, I'm one step closer tonight
Verse:
I'm one step closer
But I can't see the road ahead
I live my own way
But I need to follow you instead
Prechorus:
I try to trust you with
Every part of me, but
Sometimes it's not as easy
As I want it to be
Chorus:
Take me far away
From this sin infested place
God, hold me in your hand
I'm not safe where I am
Your love, it draws me in
And with you, I'll finally win
I, I'm one step closer tonight
Bridge:
I'm one step closer
But I'm three steps falling behind
I'm one step closer
God, I want you to lead my life
I'm one step closer
I will trust you with all of my heart
I'm one step closer
There is no more falling behind
Chorus:
Take me far away
From this sin infested place
God, hold me in your hand
I'm not safe where I am
Your love, it draws me in
And with you, I'll finally win
I, I
Take me far away
From this sin infested place
God, hold me in your hand
I'm not safe where I am
Your love, it draws me in
And with you, I'll finally win
I, I'm one step closer tonight
I, I'm one step closer tonight
