We get wiser when we get older

And we can get heavier that's a fact

We cry longer many years later looking back

It will do that in my youth

I had the world in my hands

I was so much like Superman

Now I'm looking through a different glass

I see things differently


If we fight to survive we'll win in the long run

To just stay alive may not be good enough

If we work hard and strive to be good

True and think twice

We are all just steps away from paradise


Always thought I was here forever

Life was all just fun and games

Not much thought about what came after

That was for fools that were too lame

And I thought love it came in numbers

So many numbers that I couldn't count

Till I found the one that mattered

A toast to her right now


If we fight to survive we'll win in the long run

To just stay alive may not be good enough

If we work hard and strive to be good

True and think twice

We are all just steps away from paradise


It's a long road they all say

That's a million miles away

Life's so different then

It seemed it's more like a sweet short dream


So you've got to survive to win in the long run

To just say alive may not be good enough

We've got to work hard and strive to be good

True and think twice

We are all just steps away

Just a few small steps away

We are all just steps away from paradise

Oh, oh, a few small steps away

Oh, oh, just a few small steps away

Oh, oh, were just steps away
