"One step closer"
Moving forward the darkness
Which enraptures my soul
But cannot touch my heart
For it is something only you can own
And with each passing day
I am brought one step closer

Drudging through the darkness
Letting my heart guide the way
For it holds your image
Like beacon burning bright
Within my heart
Bringing me one step closer

Held within the darkness tight
The golden rays of heaven
Though to be beyond my sight
But I every time I see you
I am brought one step closer

Never thinking I would hear
The angel’s sweet serenades
Yet I am luckier by far
As I hear your voice
For hours on end
I am brought one step closer

A light begins to gleam
As I open my eyes
The darkness begins to fade
As your light encompasses me
I am taken one step closer

With all these steps taken
I have come so far
That I can see the gates of heaven
Gleaming gold before my eyes
But it is not heaven that I seek
Though heaven is magnificent and divine
That which I have searched for
Is you
And I cannot move on
Without your hand in mine
So I will stand here and wait
Till you stay by my side
And we can take one last step closer
As we enter heavens gates
Hand in hand
And
Heart in heart

It's too bad I'm not as wonderful a person as people say I am, because the world could use a few people like that.
