One Step Away

I sleep with a prayer in my heart for you
And a song of praise rests upon my lips
Our love was built on a tower of trust
Straight from the heart not for riches or such

Now we're standing here
With a veil between each other
Lies, neglect, and my eyes
Have told of your new lover
If only you would talk with me
Understanding is in sight
It's strange how you defend your wrongs
With more fire than you do your rights, so

How can we be so far apart
Standing only one step away

I won't allow my love to bind you
Only the hand of life can restore your heart
To hold you now would only wreck your life
Experience will show you where love lies

With an honest heart
And understanding mind
Your point of views
I hold as if they were mine
But here we stand
Two strangers we seem
We need an understanding
But you don't want that with me, so

How can we be so far apart
Standing only one step away
(Oh tell me) How can we be so far apart
Standing only one step away

Now we're standing here
With a veil between each other
Lies, neglect, and my eyes
Have told of your new lover
If only you would talk with me
Understanding is in sight
It's strange how you defend your wrongs
With more fire than you do your rights, so

How can we be so far apart
Standing only one step away
(Oh tell me) How can we be so far apart
Standing only one step away
Tell me, tell me, tell me, how can we be so
