Step by step

Song I wrote with idea of 12 steps of sobriety called Step by step. It's about a man hitting rock bottom and building back his life day by day. #Alcoholics Anonymous @aa_12steps Lyrics below: Verse I woke up on a cold church bench With yesterday's bottle and a pocket of regrets My old pickup gone, my ring was too I'd traded away everything I swore I'd never lose I stared at the sky and said, "I can't do this alone" That was the first honest prayer I'd ever known Chorus Step by step, day by day One foot in front of the mistakes I made A thousand miles from the man I'd been But a little bit closer to living again When I was lost, grace showed up and led the way I found my freedom, step by step, day by day Verse I walked through those doors and I told the truth Said this whiskey's got more power than I do I found faith in something bigger than myself Turned over the wheel and asked for help Then I searched my soul through the darkest parts Every scar, every lie, every broken heart Chorus Step by step, day by day One foot in front of the mistakes I made A thousand miles from the man I'd been But a little bit closer to living again When I was lost, grace showed up and led the way I found my freedom, step by step, day by day Bridge I confessed my sins to a friend and God Faced the wreckage that my drinking caused Got ready to change, got down on my knees Asked for strength to become a better me Made a list of every soul I'd hurt Then knocked on their doors and did the work Now each night I check the man I am Pray for wisdom and lend a helping hand Chorus Step by step, day by day One foot in front of the mistakes I made The road ain't easy but it's worth the climb One sober sunrise at a time Now I stand where the broken come to find their way Sharing hope I found, step by step, day by day Outro If you're where I was, thinking you're too far gone Brother, take my hand and keep moving on You don't have to make the whole journey alone
