  • I've been counting all my steps
    All my nos just turned to yes
    Silently, I must confess
    My troubled history
    That's washed away all my sins
    Starting over once again
    This is where it all begins
    It's right in front of me
    Down is not where I belong
    This aching heart won't turn to stone
    There's a fire inside these bones
    It was meant to be
    I see the world still full of light
    How could I ever be so blind?
    I still haven't lost my fight
    That haunts me in my sleep

    I feel like waking up, I've had this dream before
    I'll take these footsteps, go higher, go higher
    I've walked an empty mile, wore down this lonely soul
    I'll take these footsteps, go higher, go higher
    (Woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo) higher, go higher
    (Woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo) higher, higher

    I know only time will tell
    If all the cards will treat me well
    'Cause this hand that I been dealt
    Keeps me wondering
    So now here I turn the page
    I've learned to silence all my rage
    Tell me who can really say
    What will tomorrow bring?

    I feel like waking up, I've had this dream before
    I'll take these footsteps, go higher, go higher
    I've walked an empty mile, wore down this lonely soul
    I'll take these footsteps, go higher, go higher
    (Woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo) higher, go higher
    (Woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo) higher, higher

    I'll find you so far away
    I'll find you after all
    I'll find you so far away
    I'll find you after all

    (I'll find you so far away) I feel like waking up, I've had this dream before
    (I'll find you after all) I'll take these footsteps, go higher, go higher
    (I'll find you so far away) I've walked an empty mile, wore down this lonely soul
    (I'll find you after all) I'll take these footsteps, go higher, go higher

    (I'll find you so far away) I feel like waking up, I've had this dream before
    (I'll find you after all) I'll take these footsteps, go higher, go higher
    (I'll find you so far away) I've walked an empty mile, wore down this lonely soul
    (I'll find you after all) I'll take these footsteps, go higher, go higher

    I feel like waking up, I've had this dream before
    I'll take these footsteps, go higher, higher Writer/s: Dave Richard Bassett, Leigh Palmer Kakaty
