A Few Steps Away
Buck McCoy Lyrics

We get wiser when we get older
As we age, we gain more experience and wisdom.

And we can get heavier that?s a fact
We tend to gain weight as we age.

We cry longer many years later looking back
We often look back at our past mistakes with deep regret.

It will do that in my youth
However, we tend to not feel the weight of these mistakes as much when we are young.

I had the world in my hands
When we are young, we often feel like the world is ours for the taking.

I was so much like Superman
We often feel invincible and capable of anything when we are young.

Now I?m looking through a different glass
However, as we age and gain new perspectives, we realize that things are not always as they seem.

I see things differently
We may see things in a new light as we gain experience and perspective.

Always thought I was here forever
We may have once thought that our youth would last forever.

Life was all just fun and games
We may not have taken life very seriously when we were young.

Not much thought about what came after
We may not have considered the long-term consequences of our actions when we were young.

That was for fools that were too lame
We may have thought that considering the future was boring or unimportant.

And I thought love it came in numbers
When we are young, we may not fully understand the complexity of love and relationships.

So many numbers that I couldn?t count
We may have thought that romantic options were endless when we were young.

Till I found the one that mattered
However, as we age and gain more experience, we may find that only one person really matters to us.

A toast to her right now
We may feel grateful for the love we have found, and celebrate it.

It?s a long road they all say
People often say that life is a challenging and unpredictable journey.

That?s a million miles away
The future may seem far, unreachable or a blur.

Life?s so different then
Our lives can change dramatically over time.

It seemed it?s more like a sweet short dream
Our past may seem like a distant, but pleasant dream.

So you?ve got to survive to win in the long run
In order to overcome life's challenges, we must strive to survive.

To just say alive may not be good enough
Merely existing is not necessarily fulfilling, we need more to thrive

We?ve got to work hard and strive to be good
To achieve what we desire, we must work hard and be virtuous.

True and think twice
We should reflect on our actions and make sure they align with our values and aspirations.

We are all just steps away
Success, happiness or love may be closer than we think.

Just a few small steps away
Success, happiness or love may be achieved with just a few more actions or efforts.

We are all just steps away from paradise
Our dreams can be realized once we take the necessary steps to achieve them.

Oh, oh, a few small steps away
We may feel inspired or hopeful about this possibility.

Oh, oh, just a few small steps away
A reminder that success, happiness, or love can be achieved with just a little more effort.

Oh, oh, were just steps away
A final statement reiterating that the road to fulfillment in life may be closer than we think.
