Ev’ry 2nd step I’m farther than I was at first
Ev’ry step forward none reverse
Ev’ry 2nd step with just common sense
Don’t know what to expect, don’t know what’s next
Hurdlin’ the heavens, vaultin’ outta vaults
Go, I go, I walk, I walk
Hurdlin’ the heavens never to halt
Ev’ry 2nd step never stuck like a cornstalk
Go, I go, I walk, I walk
On the street like children’s chalk
Ev’ry 2nd step scalin’ stairs
Always wary never scared
Chorus
Before in bed we were fellows
Now, I just play pretend pillow
Underneath the sky so dark
You’re someplace away so far
I look in the night at constellations
Match the stars to spell your name
In the wind I swear I hear it
Your name’s tattooed upon my spirit
Wherever you lay to rest your head
That’s the place I call my bed
I sleep all night ‘neath the weepin’ willow
And rise in the morning glowin’ yellow sayin’
Chorus
Some people breathe without their own breath
Some people live awaitin’ their death
But if you cheat and yourself betray
1000 deaths you’ll die in a day
On I’ll walk, won’t stop my steps
It’s your doorstep or my death
Until the time when things are better
I can give you just these letters:
Step and stand on your own 2 feet
Step until again we meet’
Step until it’s you I see
1 for you and 1 for me
