Title:
“One Step Closer”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G]Walking down the [Em]sidewalk, in this [C]city of dreams
[D]Trying to find my [G]purpose, in the [Em]midst of the screams
[C]One step, two steps, [D]three steps closer
(Chorus)
[G]We’re Wise Downtown, in this [D]concrete playground
[Em]One step closer, we’re [C]finding our sound
[G]Together we rise, against the [D]pounding tide
[Em]One step closer, we’ve [C]got nothing to hide
(Verse 2)
[G]Dreams seem so [Em]distant, in this [C]hustle and grind
[D]But we’re moving [G]forward, leaving [Em]no dream behind
[C]One step, two steps, [D]three steps closer
(Chorus)
[G]We’re Wise Downtown, in this [D]concrete playground
[Em]One step closer, we’re [C]finding our sound
[G]Together we rise, against the [D]pounding tide
[Em]One step closer, we’ve [C]got nothing to hide
