One Way
Jr.Dee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is just another day
But I'm not quite the same man that
I was before
Change
Is frightening and strange
But I will not remain here when
I'm wanting more
I'll work with what I've got
I'm taking the first steps
I'm on my way
I'll be a little braver than yesterday
I'm shaking the past off
I'm on my way to you
And the road
Is perilous I'm told
And only for the bold ones who
Would search by night
To find
A higher state of mind
And leave the past behind to seek
The lasting light
There's no more room for fear
The journey starts right here
I'm taking the first steps
I'm on my way
I'll be a little braver than yesterday
I'm shaking the past off
I'm on my way to you
It begins
The endless journey in
To places noone's been to face
The demons there
It takes
A spirit that won't break
And though my legs will quake I'll tread
This path so rare
Naked and alone
On the edge of the unknown
A step is all it takes
To finally feel awake
I'm taking the first steps
I'm on my way
I'll be a little braver than yesterday
I'm shaking the past off
I'm on my way to you
Yeah I'm on my way
I'm taking the first steps
I'm on my way
I'll be a little braver than yesterday
I'm shaking the past off
I'm on my way to you
Yeah I'm on my way to you
I'm on my way to you
I'm on my way to you
I'm on my way to you
