[Verse 1]
One song away from the beginning
One song away from the end
One song away from the living
One song away from the dead

[Verse 2]
One song away from the future
One song away from the past
One song away from being first in line
One song away from being last

[Verse 3]
One song away from my sorrow
One song away from joy
One song away from bright tomorrow
One song away from "I don't know"

[Verse 4]
One song away from silver lining
One song away from dirt and dust
One song away from all the striving
One song away from my rest

[Verse 5]
One song away from peace
One song away from war
One song away from Seattle
One song away from New York
[Verse 6]
One song away from Austin, Texas
One song away from Tennessee
One song away from my baby
One song away from you and me

[Instrumental]

One song away from my failure
One song away from humility
One song away from my moment
One song away from being weak

[Verse 7]
And one song away from my shelter
One song away from sleepin' on your floor
One song away from extinction
One song away 'til God walks in the door, yeah

[Verse 8]
One song away from your heart
One song away from rising up
One song away from my freedom
One song away from giving up
