We get wiser when we get older
And we can get heavier thats 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 Im looking through a different glass
I see things differently
If we fight to survive well 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 couldnt count
Till I found the one that mattered
A toast to her right now
If we fight to survive well 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
Its a long road they all say
Thats a million miles away
Lifes so different then
It seemed its more like a sweet short dream
So youve got to survive to win in the long run
To just say alive may not be good enough
Weve 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
