Small Steps Lyrics

A drug softened mind greets me on the telephone Going back in time to places I'd rather leave behind Pictures in my heart of where I'd be in the other side I could be with you a lone crusader simply passing through And I know that when I smile it's a smile from my heart And although that I'm not far down the road to where you are I'm taking small steps to glory with my Lord Upstairs and in my mind restless spirits try to pull me down Behind your tears you smile and behind your smile I see a restless fire I'm sick of fooling you my outside world is not who I am To pierce this outer shell the inner garden it seems so frail We've been fed the lie for so long Don't go feeling with your heart Generations scared to risk love So they simply play the part Well I'm not scared to walk around With my heart out on my sleeve Bringing peace and words of sorrow To the hearts that I have bruised
