Stepping Up The Stairs

V1.
I used to run full throttle to the bottom of the bottle
To erase her memory
I’d taken all the blame, swallowed all the shame
Hiding pain so the world can’t see.
When the demons were drowned it was time to turn around
Looking up from the bottom of the pit
Satan’s a traitor there was no elevator
Had to climb the ladder out of it.

Chorus
When I hit rock bottom I guess I’d forgotten
That there’s light beyond the dark.
Time to take control and climb out of the hole.
I just needed a little spark
From flicker to flame there ain’t no shame
No time to be scared
I gotta stop staring up the steps
And start stepping up the stairs

V2.
When the destination is unknown
It’s hard to know the path to take
And when the road ahead starts winding
I’ll take every step in faith.
Making mole hills out of mountains
Ascending to the end
Nothing in life takes more courage 
Than putting myself together again

Chorus
When I hit rock bottom I guess I’d forgotten
That there’s light beyond the dark.
Time to take control and climb out of the hole.
I just needed a little spark
From flicker to flame there ain’t no shame
No time to be scared
I gotta stop staring up the steps
And start stepping up the stairs

Bridge
I’ve been knocked down a thousand ways
But I get back up every time
And when I reach the peak
I see the steps were worth the climb

Chorus
When I hit rock bottom I guess I’d forgotten
That there’s light beyond the dark.
Time to take control and climb out of the hole.
I just needed a little spark
From flicker to flame there ain’t no shame
No time to be scared
I gotta stop staring up the steps
And start stepping up the stairs

I just gotta stop staring up the steps 
And start stepping up the stairs





Stepping Up The Stairs (5-2025)

Verse 1
Her parents said we were just too young,
Two kids growing up too fast.
 first loves don't  ever last too long,
And all of this soon will pass.
We dreamed for hours in that old blue truck,
Fogged glass under summer stars.
Rode it out when the road got rough,
Now look where we are.

Chorus
They musta been wrong,
They swore we wouldn't last very long
 thought we'd just drift away
But we never saw it that way,
Fixed cracks before they'd break
 we might have made a few mistakes
but we're still here
Right where we belong
Yeah, they musta been wrong.

Verse 2
Found a little place just out of town,
Fixed up and made our own
Hung memories up on  bare new walls,
Yeah now it felt like home
She always kept her faith in me,
When stretched and times were tight,
Didn't listen to doubts we still believed
And now we've made it right

Chorus
They musta been wrong,
They swore we wouldn't last very long
 thought we'd just drift away
But we never saw it that way,
Fixed cracks before ithey'd break
 we might have made a few mistakes
but we're still here
Right where we belong
Yeah, they musta been wrong.

Bridge
Half-cold coffee next to sippy cups,
Dishwasher hum before sun comes up.
Little feet runnin’ down that hall —
Don’t sleep much,  don’t mind at all.

Final Chorus
They musta been wrong,
They swore we wouldn't last very long
 thought we'd just drift away
But we never saw it that way,
Fixed cracks before they'd break
we might have made a few mistakes
but we're still here
Right where we belong
Yeah, they musta been wrong.
Yeah they musta been wrong
Yeah they musta been wrong

Musta been wrong

Đêm Trên Đĩnh Sầu

Trăng Tàn Trên Hè Phố - Hoàng Oanh

Chờ em chờ đến bao giờ 
mấy thu thuyền đã xa bờ 
nhiều đêm cô đơn nhìn cây trút lá 
buồn quá cơn mưa hắt hiu 
đưa hồn về trong cô liêu 

Tình anh lạc chốn mê rồi 
nhớ chăng người cũng đi rồi 
ngày vui mang theo một cơn gió lốc 
lệ thắm không vơi cứ tuôn 
ai còn nhớ đâu mà thương 

Thôi em ra đi về nơi xứ xa 
Đêm Đông cô đơn buồn cho kiếp không nhà 
lạnh giá rét buốt đời bạc phước không chồng 
chỉ còn lại nhớ mong 

Mười năm trời chẳng thương mình 
để anh thành kẻ bạc tình 
cầu xin xin cho mây về vui với gió 
dù có qua bao đắng cay 
muôn đời anh vẫn chờ em

Hoa No Ve Dem
