[Intro]
(ah-ah, ah-ah)
Woman chanting low
(ah-ah, ah-ah)
Soft like a secret oath
[Verse 1 – Male (radio voice)]
Heard you through the static haze
Sunday shoes
Barefoot faith
Every scar
Every doubt I prayed
Still I’m staring at these gates
[Chorus – Female]
My heaven is steps away
I feel the ground start to shake
Every tear I ever gave
Turns to gold
Turns to grace
My heaven is steps away
My prize guaranteed today
If I fall or if I stay
You’ll meet me
Meet me halfway
[Verse 2 – Female]
You say I’m carved in your hands (yeah)
Even when I break your plans
I drag my chains through the sand
You turn ‘em into wedding bands
[Verse 3 – Male (radio voice)]
I ain’t holy
I ain’t clean
Still you tune your love to me
Through the crackle I can hear you sing
“Child
You’re closer than you think”
[Chorus – Female]
My heaven is steps away
I feel the ground start to shake
Every tear I ever gave
Turns to gold
Turns to grace
My heaven is steps away
My prize guaranteed today
If I run or if I wait
You’ll meet me
Meet me halfway
[Bridge – Call & Response]
[Drums drop
Heavy toms
Claps]
(Female) One more breath
(Crowd) One more breath
(Female) One more mile
(Crowd) One more step
(Male, airy) When you’re tired
Lean on me
(Female, soaring) I was blind but now I see (hey!)
[Chorus – Female]
My heaven is steps away
I feel the ground start to shake
Every tear I ever gave
Turns to gold
Turns to grace
My heaven is steps away
My prize guaranteed today
If I lose or if I’re saved
You’ll meet me
Meet me halfway
[Outro – Woman Chanting]
(ah-ah, ah-ah)
My heaven is steps away
(ah-ah, ah-ah)
My heaven is steps away
