You were there when my daddy died
I didn't want to believe but I tried
Tough prayers in the dead of night
I said I wanted to live but I lied
Fourteen standing at his grave
I didn't know what it meant to be saved
Fell apart when I heard you say
"I love you son, let me take all your pain"
Inside, outside
Waking up just to never die
Took a minute to realize
You'd given me a better life
22 steps, out of debt
22 steps (I'll never forget)
22 steps, straight ahead
22 steps (You're catching my breath)
22 steps from the grave to [?]
I got in and we drove to his mom's
Late tears running down my arms
Ready to live and believe he was God
Inside, outside
Waking up just to never die
Took a minute to realize
You'd given me a better life
22 steps, out of debt
22 steps (I'll never forget)
22 steps, straight ahead
22 steps (You're catching my breath)
(Whispered words)
22 steps, out of debt
22 steps (I'll never forget)
22 steps, straight ahead
22 steps (You're catching my breath)
