Stepping Out
Randy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I promised myself that I won't be afraid
I promised myself that I will be brave
And when the time comes I will know what to do
At least I will try my best, hope the same goes for you

It's been harder times than this and it's been better
As sure as the April weather shifts, the pigs are getting fatter, fatter, yeah, fatter!
Never before I've I felt so alive, I'm coming in from the darkness
Never before I've I felt so alive cos I'm stepping out, out in the blue

I promise myself that I will be strong
And that I will be honest and admit when I'm wrong
I promised myself that I will stand tall
And with my back straight, watch your empire fall

There's been harder times than this and there's been better
As sure as the April weather shifts, the pigs are getting fatter, fatter, fatter, fatter, fatter!
Never before I've I felt so alive, I'm coming in from the darkness
Never before I've I felt so alive. Stepping out in the blue
Never before I've I felt so alive, I'm coming in from the darkness
Never before I've I felt so alive cos I'm stepping out - out in the blue
Stepping out - out in the blue
Yeah! You heard me, I'm stepping out - out in the blue
Oh! Sweet baby, I'm stepping out - out in the blue
Oh! I'm stepping, stepping out - out in the blue
Oh! Yeah! I'm stepping out - out in the blue
Oh! Baby! Oh! I'm getting out of there - out in the blue




Stepping out - out in the blue
I'm stepping, stepping, stepping out
