Here I am
I’m still here
but ready,
oh, so ready
to push aside the fear.
I’m gonna do it.
It’s time to move on
here I go,
I’m going now
it’s a new dawn.
I will take the next step.
One step at a time
is all that it takes
to move me
I’m moving down the line.
One step and then another
changes my location.
Each step I take
every little step
can change my direction.
Here I am.
I’m still me
but somehow a little different
a little changed
I’m not the same girl I used to be.
The time has come
as it does for all
a leap instead of a step
more than a step
I’m answering the call.
I will take the next step
close my eyes and try
hold my breath
a deep breath
it’s time to fall or fly.
One step is all it takes.
Maybe I will soar
but it all starts
it begins
with one step more.
