Tell me that we still belong Tell me that the will is still alive There must be another chance for us tonight 'Cause everyone who's walked upon Trouble or lies, they come and go We can be the lucky ones And find love, after the storm Don't let go 'Cause it's just a step from heaven And the strength of love is on our side Soon you'll find That our faith will take us higher 'Cause we're just a step Baby just a step from heaven We don't need to justify our emotions We don't need to worry 'cause if they hold on There's a bigger destiny that was made for us So don't let troubles bring you down Believe in the foundation of our love Can't you see my faith in you Is forever and more Don't let go 'Cause it's just a step from heaven And the strength of love is on our side Soon you'll find That our faith will take us higher 'Cause we're just a step Baby just a step from heaven Heaven, oh yeah Heaven, oh yeah Baby can't you see This love was meant to be We can rise above this pain in our hearts Don't let go 'cause it's just a step from heaven And the strength of love is on our side Soon you'll find That our faith will take us higher 'Cause we're just a step Baby just a step from heaven Heaven
