From the recording Breakdown
Step by Step is the sunrise after the storm. It’s about starting again — one breath, one move, one day at a time. This track marks the turning point of the Breakdown story, where pain gives way to purpose and the road ahead finally starts to open. It’s a reminder that healing doesn’t happen all at once, but hope always begins with the first light.
Lyrics
Verse 1
The dust is settling on the ground,
What’s gone is gone, I can’t turn around.
The noise is gone, the fight is through,
Now it’s me and the road, and the sky turning blue.
Pre-Chorus 1
It’s quiet here, but it’s not the end,
It’s where I start to live again.
Chorus 1
Step by step, I’m finding my way,
The sun’s still rising on another day.
I don’t need the map, I don’t need control,
I just need peace inside my soul.
The world may change, but I remain —
Step by step, I’m walking again.
Verse 2
I used to measure worth in speed,
Always chasing what I’d never need.
Now I’m learning what the silence gives,
And how it feels to simply live.
Pre-Chorus 2
The weight is gone, the fear is thin,
This is where new life begins.
Chorus 2
Step by step, I’m finding my way,
The sun’s still rising on another day.
I don’t need the map, I don’t need control,
I just need peace inside my soul.
The world may change, but I remain —
Step by step, I’m walking again.
Bridge
Every scar has taught me grace,
Every fall led to this place.
What I lost was what I had to lose,
To make room for something true.
Final Chorus (Lifted)
Step by step, I’m finding my way,
The sun’s still rising on another day.
I don’t need the map, I don’t need control,
I just need peace inside my soul.
The world may change, but I remain —
Step by step, I’m walking again.
