Every Step of the Way

If I could talk to myself eight years ago Seeing what I've seen, knowing what I know I would tell that quiet kid There'll be days ahead when it doesn't make sense I would tell him he can trust Your hand 'Cause now I gotta picture of the greater plan I can see with perfect clarity It wasn't tragedy, it was what I needed I couldn't see it then, but now I understand Every step of the way You've been, you'll be Working everything for the best for me So I'll trust in who You are Every step of the way You've been, you'll be Fighting and writing your love in my story You've held my heart Every step of the way (every step of the way) (Every step of the way, every step of the way) Every step of the way (every step of the way) (Every step of the way, every step of the way) Looking back on my life again I never thought that I'd be standing in the place I'm in Took a little faith to see Gotta chase the dream that You placed in me Never thought I would be praying the prayers I prayed Never thought I would be saying the things I say But You've been with me Every step of the way You've been, you'll be Working everything for the best for me So I'll trust in who You are Every step of the way You've been, you'll be Fighting and writing your love in my story You've held my heart Every step of the way (every step of the way) (Every step of the way, every step of the way) Every step of the way (every step of the way) (Every step of the way, every step of the way) Even in the upside down Even when it all feels turned around I know You've got me Every step of the way Every step of the way You've been, you'll be Working everything for the best for me So I'll trust in who you are Every step of the way You've been, you'll be Fighting and writing your love in my story You've held my heart (you've held my heart) Every step of the way (every step of the way) (Every step of the way, every step of the way) Every step of the way (every step of the way) (Every step of the way, every step of the way) Every step of the way (every step of the way) (Every step of the way, every step of the way) Every step of the way (every step of the way) (Every step of the way, every step of the way) (Every step of the way)
