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
