22 Steps

You were there when my daddy died
 I didn't want to believe but I tried
 Tough prayers in the dead of night
 I said I wanted to live but I lied
 Fourteen standing at his grave
 I didn't know what it meant to be saved
 Fell apart when I heard you say
 "I love you son, let me take all your pain"
 Inside, outside
 Waking up just to never die
 Took a minute to realize
 You'd given me a better life
 22 steps, out of debt
 22 steps (I'll never forget)
 22 steps, straight ahead
 22 steps (You're catching my breath)
 22 steps from the grave to car
 I got in and we drove to his mom's
 Late tears running down my arms
 Ready to live and believe he was gone
 Inside, outside
 Waking up just to never die
 Took a minute to realize
 You'd given me a better life
 22 steps, out of debt
 22 steps (I'll never forget)
 22 steps, straight ahead
 22 steps (You're catching my breath)
 22 steps, out of debt
 22 steps (I'll never forget)
 22 steps, straight ahead
 22 steps (You're catching my breath)
 22 steps
 I'll never forget
