One More Step

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You keep your hands inside your coat Like winter lives beneath your skin A quiet name you never spoke Still finds a way to pull you in [Pre-Chorus] You learned to stand when fear arrived To guard the ones you couldn't save And every step you take tonight Is one more answer to the grave [Chorus] Hold on, even when the dark calls your name Carry the weight, don't become what you hate If your heart breaks, let it break open wide There's still a reason to fight by your side [Verse 2] The old school gate, the paper charms A promise folded in your sleeve You walk through danger without praise And give the hurt a place to breathe [Pre-Chorus] No crown, no rest, no easy road Just one more life beneath your shield You face the thing you fear the most And make your mercy something real [Chorus] Hold on, even when the dark calls your name Carry the weight, don't become what you hate If your heart breaks, let it break open wide There's still a reason to fight by your side [Bridge] I won't let sorrow choose my shape I won't let anger take the wheel A promise can outlast the pain A wounded heart can still be steel [Final Chorus] Hold on, even when the dark calls your name Carry the weight, let compassion remain If your heart breaks, let it break open wide There's still a reason to fight by your side [Outro] One more step into the day One more soul you lead away
