One Step From Grace

"One Step From Grace"
By Iron Donato

Dear God, at the start
I loved you, without, hesitation
So easy, for you to break, my foolish heart
To send me, to the streets, in lonely isolation

How I wondered why you torchered, me with pain
Why you nearly, drove me, drove me, to go insane
I bleed myself  in vain
How tragic, is this game

In the eyes of a saint, I'm a stranger
My plea for help, is never heard
Im trying, to find my way
Trying, not to stray
 
But it ain’t easy
It ain’t easy
It ain’t easy
To be
Me

At the death, of every darkness
There’s enlightenment
There’s a fight
For me to do, what is right

Though I always try
I always try
To win the race
I’m just, one step, from grace

I made myself, believe
There was no, fight, left in me
But redemption, doesn't fall down, at my feet
In the half light, there was... no fight
They raised, a hand, to my defeat

And I watched the walls fall
I watched the walls fall
I watched the walls fall
And I rebuilt them all, piece by piece

How I wondered why, you torchered me, with pain
Why you nearly drove me, drove me, to go insane
I bleed myself, in vain
How tragic, is this game

In the eyes of a saint, I'm a stranger
My plea for help, is never heard
Im trying to find my way
Trying, not to stray

But it ain’t easy
It ain’t easy
It ain’t easy
To break free
It ain’t easy
To reach, my destiny
It ain’t easy, for me, to see

At the death, of every darkness, there's enlightenment
To continue, to fight
To do, what is right
To have, true, insight

Though I always try
I always try
To win the race
I’m just, one step from grace

I wonder why,  I gave up, on our love
When it's always, reachable above
But I believe I’ve suffered enough
Things are tough & very rough
But, you always tried
I just fell and cried

Yet, I’ll continue to win the race
For I’m just, one step from grace
I no longer will cry, for now I realize
I must open new doors, leap in and fly

To clearly see
What It is I must believe
You now want me, to achieve
To bravely, courageously explore
To win things with love, I’ve never won before

Oh Yes, I have fallen
But I’m no longer crawlin’
I now stay forever  strong,
And I somehow, will correct what’s wrong

For I know, oh I know, I know
Where my voice now belongs
My voice now, belongs in my songs
Yes, I’ll continue to finally win the race
For, I'm just one step from Grace
I’m just one step from Grace
