HOLDING ON
TO THE RAILING
I CLOSE MY EYES
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN
AFRAID
OF THE HIGH DIVE
ALL THE KIDS
ARE WATCHING
AS TIME MOVES SLOWLY
MY KNEES ARE
KNOCKING AS I STARE
DOWN BELOW
SHOULD I TAKE
THE NEXT STEP
I'M STANDING AT
THE CROSSROADS
I'VE GOT NO MAP
TO GUIDE ME
JUST LESSONS
I'VE LEARNED
BRIDGES I'VE BURNED
TO GO ON
AND I KNOW
THERE'S STILL TIME
TO STOP ON A DIME
AND GO HOME
BUT I THINK I'LL TAKE
THE NEXT STEP
NEVER SEEN YOU LOOK
SO PRETTY
NEVER SEEN A DRESS
SO WHITE
NEVER BEEN SO SCARED
IN ALL MY LIFE
THE PREACHER
ASKS YOU
YOU SAY I DO
NOW HE WANTS
TO KNOW
IF I DO TOO
SHOULD I TAKE
THE NEXT STEP
I'M STANDING AT
THE CROSSROADS
I'VE GOT NO MAP
TO GUIDE ME
JUST LESSONS
I'VE LEARNED
BRIDGES I'VE BURNED
TO GO ON
AND I KNOW
THERE'S STILL TIME
TO STOP ON A DIME
AND GO HOME
BUT I THINK I'LL TAKE
THE NEXT STEP
4 BAR
BREAK
HIS LITTLE FINGERS
TAKE HOLD OF MY HAND
NINE MONTHS OLD
AND HE'S READY
TO STAND
AND I KNOW
I'LL BE THERE
TO HELP HIM TAKE
THE NEXT STEP
HE'S STANDING AT
THE CROSSROADS
GOT NO MAP
TO GUIDE HIM
JUST LESSONS
I'VE LEARNED
BRIDGES I'VE BURNED
TO GO ON
AND I KNOW
THAT IN TIME
HE'LL LEAVE ME BEHIND
AND MOVE ON
JUST LESSONS
I'VE LEARNED
BRIDGES I'VE BURNED
TO GO ON
AND I KNOW THAT
IN TIME
HE'LL LEAVE ME BEHIND
AND MOVE ON
BUT I'LL HELP HIM TAKE
THE NEXT STEP
THE NEXT STEP
