McCoy Buck - A Few Steps Away lyrics

We get wiser when we get older And we can get heavier that's a fact We cry longer many years later looking back It will do that in my youth I had the world in my hands I was so much like Superman Now I'm looking through a different glass I see things differently If we fight to survive we'll win in the long run To just stay alive may not be good enough If we work hard and strive to be good True and think twice We are all just steps away from paradise Always thought I was here forever Life was all just fun and games Not much thought about what came after That was for fools that were too lame And I thought love it came in numbers So many numbers that I couldn't count Till I found the one that mattered A toast to her right now If we fight to survive we'll win in the long run To just stay alive may not be good enough If we work hard and strive to be good True and think twice We are all just steps away from paradise It's a long road they all say That's a million miles away Life's so different then It seemed it's more like a sweet short dream So you've got to survive to win in the long run To just say alive may not be good enough We've got to work hard and strive to be good True and think twice We are all just steps away Just a few small steps away We are all just steps away from paradise Oh, oh, a few small steps away Oh, oh, just a few small steps away Oh, oh, were just steps away
