One More Step

A resilient anthem for the moments when the whole road feels impossible—about finding enough strength for one more breath, one more step, and the dawn waiting beyond the dark.

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I’ve been staring at the ceiling, Trying to remember who I was. Every road looks like a mountain, Every breath feels like too much. I can’t see beyond the shadows, I can’t tell how this will end— But somewhere underneath the hurting, There’s a voice that says again: [Pre-Chorus] You don’t need the strength for tomorrow, You don’t have to see what comes next. If there’s anything left inside you, Let it carry you one more step. [Chorus] One more step, That’s all I have to take. One more breath, Even if my whole heart breaks. I don’t have to reach the mountain, I don’t have to know what’s next. If all I have is one more step, Then one more step is enough. [Verse 2] There were days I thought were endings, There were nights I nearly let go. But the ground beneath my footsteps Shows I’ve traveled more than I know. Every inch became a heartbeat, Every scar became a sign: There was something deep within me That refused to be left behind. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need the strength for forever, I just need what hasn’t left. There’s a fire beneath these ashes— Just enough for one more step. [Chorus] One more step, That’s all I have to take. One more breath, Even if my whole heart breaks. I don’t have to reach the mountain, I don’t have to know what’s next. If all I have is one more step, Then one more step is enough. [Bridge] And step by step, the road grows shorter. Breath by breath, the light breaks through. What I thought would be my ending Led me somewhere bright and new. Now I know the strength I searched for Wasn’t waiting up ahead— It was buried deep inside me, Rising every time I said: [Final Chorus] One more step, I know that I can take it. One more breath, I may bend, but I won’t break yet. I can finally see the mountain, And how far these feet have come. Every step became a promise That the darkness hadn’t won. One more step— Then another after that. I found the strength I never knew Was waiting where I’m at. I don’t need to know the ending, I just need what I have left. And if all I have is one more step, Then one more step is enough. [Outro] One more breath, One more dawn, One more step— And I keep moving on.
