One More Step

One more step — eh-oh
One more step — eh-oh

Dust on the lane, dawn on the wire
My boots knock twice by the old tire
Red tape tight on my right wrist
Mama's voice says, "Breathe through this"
Tunnel walls hold every name
My shirt is dry but my hands shake
Ayo says, "Sister, stay with me"
Luz counts three in Portuguese

I hear the gates, I hear them call
Small room heart, big wall

One more step, we cross that line
One more breath, this ground is mine
Hold my hand, don't let me fall
We rise together, all of us

Eh-oh, eh-oh — move!
Eh-oh, eh-oh — move!

Second half, the scoreboard turns
One down, and the red dust burns
Our clean pass dies near the box
Their keeper laughs, the whole stand knocks
I find the tape, it's coming loose
I tie it hard and choose the truth
No waiting for the fear to leave
I call the run, they follow me

Courage is not a quiet room
It is my feet when the fear comes through
This red thread held my shaking hand
Now it marks the road we make as a band

One more step, we cross that line
One more breath, this ground is mine
Raise your voice, let every side call
We rise together, all of us

One more step!
Eh-oh!
Who moves now?
All of us!
One more step!
Eh-oh!

One more step — eh-oh
All of us!
