“One Step Closer” Bon Jovi Lyrics
I’ve seen the heart of darkness
Let’s just say I crossed over that line
Held hands with the hopeless
In too deep on that ride
Went around one more time
When you’re standing on the edge
You don’t look down
Till you’re ready and willing to fly
Now I’m one step closer
With my arms open wide
I’m one step closer
And I’m willing to try this time
I hitched a ride with forgiveness
In that river of emotion
I went down a third time
I spent the night with the living
Took a chance looked inside
Didn’t know who I’d find
Standing on the corner of hello and goodbye
All alone it’s there I made up my mind
I’m one step closer
With my arms open wide
I’m one step closer
And I’m willing and to try
I’m sick of giving up
With a little luck
I’m gonna get out of here
When you’re standing on the edge
You don’t look down
Till you’re ready and willing to fly
Now I’m one step closer
With my arms open wide
I’m one step closer
And I’m willing to try
I’m one step closer
I’m one step closer

Lyrical Diary-
Enjoy reading lyrics and trying to do them more than just lyrics, trying to have some more me. I enjoy doing this because it allows me to express myself in a unique way that not everyone can do. It also gives me a chance to learn new things, which I appreciate.
Lyrics are a way to communicate emotions, and they can be used to entertain or provoke an emotional response in the listener. Therefore, lyricists need to use complex academic jargon to evoke a strong emotional response. They can create a connection with their listener and hopefully evoke a feeling of enjoyment or pleasure.
