One Step Forward Lyrics

They say freedom is in the mind

Well we lose our freedom when we get too scared to fight

One step forward is another step farther behind



Hardly nothing can make me cry

But when I saw history repeat I wiped my eyes

One step forward is another step farther behind



You see I go out on the corner

And bare my soul

Play my guitar strings until my fingers swole

I don't make much money and they treat me mean

But I know that this creation keeps my heart bеating



We lose this music when wе fall for the dollar signs

One step forward is another step farther behind



[guitar solo]



You see I grab pen and paper

And bare my soul

Expose my tender heart for the world to know

It ain't about the money or the popularity

It's the healing and the love and the connectivity



We lose this music when we fall for the dollar signs

One step forward is another step farther behind

What I say?

One step forward is another step farther behind

And I'll keep playing til the sun goes down on my life
