One Step Beyond - Madness

Some things fast, some things slow Some things take time to grow When all I know is that I'm feeling Numbed out, run down, made of stone There is something telling me that All I need to do is keep moving on I take it one step at a time When the mountain in front of me hangs over everything I take it one breath at a time When the world that is all I see feels like too much for me Put one foot in front of the other One breath after another I (take it one) Take it one step at a time Take it one step at a time Some things last, some things go If we just stand here, we'll never know The road far up ahead of me Is feeling like eternity I can't conceive There is something telling me that All I need to do is keep on moving my feet I take it one step at a time When the mountain in front of me hangs over everything Take it one breath at a time When the world that is all I see feels like too much for me Put one foot in front of the other One breath after another I (take it one) Take it one step at a time Take it one step at a time Put one foot in front of the other One breath after another I (take it one) Take it one step at a time Take it one step at a time

This is time for a shake-up, Look at me wake up, taking control. This is a new beginning, my gears are spinning, Let's rock'n'roll. Just put. One foot. Onward and forward. I used to be a zero but now I clearly feel that I may be the hero who reinvents the heel. I may be facing the impossible, I may be chasing after miracles. And there may be the steepest mountain to overcome. But this is step one. Yeah this is step one. Who knew I had it in me, Let me begin, see where this could go. I've got knowledge and know how, Don't stop the show now, Don't stop the flow. Just put. One foot. Onward and forward. I used to live in limbo never dying to begin. But now it's sink or swim, so I'd better dive right in. I may be facing the impossible, I may be chasing after miracles. And there may be the steepest mountain to overcome. But this is step one. It's not just a factory. This is my family. No one's gonna shut us down. Not while Charlie Price is around. We may be facing the impossible, We may be chasing after miracles. And there may be the steepest mountain to overcome. We may be facing the impossible, We may be chasing after miracles. And there may be the steepest mountain to overcome. But this is step one. Look what Charlie Boy has done. This is step one.
