Just one step forward,
Cross the line that lies between
The fires in my mind and cooling breeze
Just one step further,
A phone call, perhaps a letter
Just wade in the troubled water
I'm lifting my foot from beneath the mud
Take me by the fire and prove I'm not dead
Give me a comfort and cool out my head

Just one step forward,
Jesus is on the other line
Maybe he's been there the whole time
Just one step further,
Close the door behind me
Let the weight down slowly
I'll lift my foot from beneath the mud
If those city lights can grow a little more, man
If I can hold on for just a little while, man
